Building kernel for h4100

Hi guys,

I've managed to boot a pre-built kernel on an h2210 (belongs to my work),
but not yet on my h4100.
So far I've seen the same symptoms as someone else reported, namely HARET
shows the thermometer, screen goes blank, then it never returns at all -
have to reset.
[same procedure on h2210 results in successful boot]

Having read around a bit, I decided the best option was to start building my
own kernel using one of the pre-built toolchains for gcc 3.4.1.
I've downloaded kernel-2.6.6-hh0 and tried to build as follows:

extract kernel to /home/tom
extract toolchain to /usr/local[/arm/3.4.1/etc]

in extracted kernel directory,
export PATH=/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/bin:$PATH
cp ipaq_266hh0_jul31.config .config
make oldconfig
make

This produces the following output:

CC scripts/empty.o
cc1: error: invalid option 'short-load-bytes'
make[1]: *** [scripts/empty.o] Error 1
make *** [scripts] Error 2

I'm sure I'm doing something really dumb, so I may track it down myself -
but any help greatly appreciated!

cheers,

Tom Gilbert
