I have not looked into why yet, but building machdep.o with cc and everything
else with gcc-2.4.5 makes a kernel that will boot.  gcc-2.4.5 spits out
lots of warnings especially about the system call interface where args are
declared as structures in the function argument list.  Anyone have new
ways to do this so gcc-2.4.5 won't complain as much?  Anyone ansi-fied the
kernel sources?
