I used the same compiler, binutils and libs, but
had to use 1.3.x.

Here is the stuff from the HOWTO:

  o  The Kernel.  As from at least 1.3.8, the development 1.3 series
     have a make config option to build using ELF tools.  If you are
     using the 1.2 series, you have two options:


     1. Patch the Makefile slightly to use the a.out compiler.  Just
        change the CC and LD definitions to be



          ___________________________________________________________________
          LD      =ld -m i386linux
          CC      =gcc -b i486-linuxaout -D__KERNEL__ -I$(TOPDIR)/include
          ___________________________________________________________________





     Alternatively,

     2. Apply H J Lu's patch which allows compiling the kernel in ELF
        (and also adds the ability to do ELF core dumps).


     Let me reiterate that neither of these is necessary for the 1.3
     series.


BTW I am now running Linux on a 100 mhz Pentium with a Gigabyte
motherboard with 256K pipeline burst cache, 5ms seek time
Bus Logic SCSI, 2 gigabyte HP disk...  way cool...  I tossed
the HP and upgraded to Linux :-)   as my main workstation.
I think I am going to order a 133mhz model.   My home model
is still a slug.
