You need to upgrade to a more recent version of the djgpp binutils package. 
In particular your assembler is extremely out of date.

Isn't that just because it doesn't get listed in the hardware driver list? 
(that's in lmsedrv.c).

It doesn't need to. Drivers provide an ascii_name field, and then the 
framework code converts this and stores a current format version in the name 
and desc fields. The driver can subsequently change that if they want to 
give a more informative description, but by default they don't need to 
bother doing any conversion stuff.

Re: problems installing WIP 3.9.25 on a Red Hat with kernel 2.0.36


Now I have completely reinstalled the whole thing, but now I get this
error after configuration and make:

[root@localhost allegro]# make
...
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Iinclude -I./include -I.  -I/usr/X11R6/include  -O3
-ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -c ./src/linux/fbcon.c -o
obj/unix/alleg/fbcon.o
./src/linux/fbcon.c: In function `read_fbmodes_file':
./src/linux/fbcon.c:717: `FB_SYNC_ON_GREEN' undeclared (first use this
function)
./src/linux/fbcon.c:717: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once
./src/linux/fbcon.c:717: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [obj/unix/alleg/fbcon.o] Error 1

Please advice! If I need any alternative software, where can I find it?
If my Linux is badly configured, how can I fix it?

cheers
