I have one other system that can build this kernel, and one that gets
further. The differences are gcc version (all distro-supplied),
.config, and in one case X86_32 vs. X86_64.

That's the non-working version. I just verified:
root@vm1:~/linux-2.6# make clean && make arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.o
[...]
CC arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.o
arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.c:27: error: array index in initializer exceeds array bounds
arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.c:27: error: (near initialization for ‘sys_call_table’)
arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.c:27: warning: excess elements in array initializer
arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.c:27: warning: (near initialization for ‘sys_call_table’)
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.o] Error 2
root@vm1:~/linux-2.6# make arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.i
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
CPP arch/x86/kernel/syscall_64.i
The resulting .i file is identical (checked md5sum) to the one on the
http site: http://downloads.lustre.org/people/scjody/lkml/syscall_64.i
Cheers,
Jody
