But if you really want 2.4 you have to follow this guide:

Nothing is wrong with it. If you want to compile the kernal you have two choices.
1. Do it just the way the Kernel Rebuild Guide recommends.
-OR-
2. Edit the source file and and the scripts so that gccc 3 does not REPORT errors.

Contrary to what they say, any C compiler is not a UNIVERSAL tool that works well on any published and proven source code. Just a fact of life. This is not a slam of the C language. This kind of problem exists in most current complied languages.

But if you do GET it to work on the 2.4 source code, please let others know how you did it.
Here is a link that refers to 2.6 and gcc 3 and implies that it may not work.
