[ale] 2.0 no go!

[jim]

Since I downloaded the 2.0 kernel, it consistently refuses to compile.
To answer in advance the obvious questions: Yes, I read
/Documentation/Changes. The only things I haven't installed are
sysvinit2.60 and hdparm-2.7. These things have to be compiled and
nothing will compile all the way through, right now. And yes, I am using
the patched version of make. When I try to compile, I do a make
mrproper, then a make config. When I get to make dep, it gets down to
/usr/src/linux/drivers/char, then I get the following messages:

gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -o conmakehash conmakehash.c
/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function '_start':
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text + 0x2b): undefined reference to '__fpu_control'
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text + 0x31): undefined reference to '__setfpucw'

/tmp/cca028921.o(.text + Ox12): undefined reference to 'fprintf'

and so on, in a long string.

I think I screwed up when I upgraded to ELF. Some things have not worked
since then and now nothing compiles. I confess. I did it. But I don't
know what I did. Any clues here that say what I am missing or what make
can't find.
