Hi.

Im trying to upgrade the kernel from 2.6.35-gentoo-r12 to
linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 just copied the .config from the old one and did a
make oldconfig as i usually do
but when i tried to compile it got this message:

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

localhost linux # make && make modules_install
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig arch/x86/Kconfig
/usr/src/linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 25: Ygcc:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 26: Ygcc:

  CC      kernel/bounds.s
/bin/sh: Ygcc: command not found
make[1]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 127
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

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

I have no idea what the heck is the Ygcc and why it is looking for it.

Any help?

Did a bit of googling here.  You may want to try copying the new .config 
to a safe place, /root maybe, then run make distclean, or make mrproper, 
then copying the .config back and trying again.  That is what worked for 
some of the folks that ran into this.

If that don't work, post back.  Hope that fixes it tho.

That's a strange error.  That script is supposed to produce a 4-digit number:

# sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5/scripts/gcc-version.sh gcc-4.5.2
0405

What do you see if you give it the gcc-4.x.x that you are using?

Did you use gcc-config to change the active version of gcc, maybe?

My guess: somehow the CROSS_COMPILE configuration option got set to Y.
This is the second option in menuconfig under General Setup.  This value
gets prepended to $CC during a build -- it's meant to hold a cross
prefix, like "i686-pc-linux-gnu-", for cases where you're building a
kernel for a different architecture.

You almost certainly don't want this set to anything, since it sounds
like you're building a kernel for the same machine.  Go clear it out and
try again.
