Next time, please be so kind to fold your lines properly.
Now, if you a true hacker, you might want to give a whirl to this:
http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/linux-2.4.6-mallorn.diff
It certainly compiles, but does not work too well.
It may be a good start if you want to fix sparc(32).
Otherwise, forget it and use something else.

At least Pine does.

I've got two weeks' vacation coming up next week, I intend to look into
this as I've no money to go anywhere, so might as well contribute my time!
Also if anyone in the UK is willing to donate a SparcStation 20 with dual
SM61s (or even better, SM71s) with a 24bit framebuffer, I can make sure
SMP works on sun4m.

Hey, they *are* out to get you, but it's nothing personal.

Currently, 2.4.X does not compile or run on Sparc32 due to lack of a
maintainer for that platform.

We have a problem with kernel 2.4.6 on a Sparc. It seems that pgalloc.h defines as macros some identifiers which are defined elsewhere as functions, with a different number of args. Those are pte_alloc (defined in memory.c) and pmd_alloc (defined in
mm.h). It is the same problem as Alex Buell has, as he wrote on May 9th:
Has anyone got a patch to fix the following error when compiling
2.4.4 on SparcStation 4?
