Bzzzzzt!!! RedHat's gcc (2.96-something) in 7.3 definitely compiles the
linux kernel. In fact, kgcc was only needed in 7.0 (and perhaps 7.1). 10
bucks says kgcc will fail at the same point, and so will gcc 2.95-3/3.1/3.2
(official versions).
Did you do "make menuconfig", followed by "make dep"? autoconf.h is
generated by one of these, not sure which. Also, are you using the in-kernel
fealnx.c and enabling it "make menuconfig" or trying to compile a driver
downloaded from somewhere else?
