No idea about this (yet)... maybe GCC became stricter about declaration 
consistency... Since the problem happens probably with i386, too, you might 
try the latest 2.4 with the same patch applied.

This is a message caused by missing /usr/lib/libc.a - install 
glibc-static-devel and this one *should* work fine. Actually, in my 
experience, gcc 3.3.2 from Mandrake 10 Official miscompiles UML / 2.4 (not 
reproducible with UML / 2.6). gcc 3.2.2 from Mandrake 9.1 installs and works 
well (use make ARCH=um CC='gcc-3.2.2' after installing it)... I've no 
experience with the 3.3.1 one.
