I'm using gcc 3.3.1.  I actually downloaded the 2.4.21 source directly
from kernel.org and got it to compile fine.  I had been using the debian
source package, whatever patch is used on it must have messed something
up.  Another guy on debian-laptops was having the same errors as me. 
Since I can, I think I'm going to get my feet wet with the 2.4.21 kernel
and then try the 2.6 again.

Thanks for all the feedback,
