[ltp] mwave: kernel-patch 2.4.6 doesn't compile

[Thomas Wimmer]

Hello

I downloaded the mwave-patch for kernel 2.4.6 and applied it.
during kernel-configuration I choose to compile it as "built-in".

during a "make bzImage" I did receive the following error:
------------------------------------------------------------
ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.6/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e

------------------------------------------------------------

does anyone know what caused this?
why do I need a kernel patch in the first place?
