This was all discussed on the list in the last couple of days. The SuSE kernel has been patched to fix some 'string' problems that have not been addressed in the kernel. The kernel developers have yet to move to GCC 3.3 and 2.4.20 will not compile without fixing the 'problems'.
It looks as if this problem then has been addressed in kernel
2.4.21-rc1, possible earlier incarnations of 2.4.21 as well, but I have
not tried them. 2.5.6[89] compiles as well using GCC 3.3, although I
have not had any luck running either of them.
2.4.21-rc1 works a treat though and it was required for me to get my
machine working.
