[Kernelchix] make dep problem

[Katie Bechtold]

I'm hoping to replace the 2.2.20 kernel on my old Debian laptop with
a newer one (in order to get my new wireless PC card working), so I
downloaded 2.4.24 and configured it.  Then the problems arose:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.24# make dep
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o
scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c
scripts/mkdep.c:33:19: ctype.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:34:19: fcntl.h: No such file or directory
In file included from
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2/include/syslimits.h:7,
from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2/include/limits.h:11,
from scripts/mkdep.c:35: 
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2/include/limits.h:122:75:
  limits.h: No such file or directory 
scripts/mkdep.c:36:19: stdio.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:37:20: stdlib.h: No such file or directory

scripts/mkdep.c:41:23: sys/fcntl.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:42:22: sys/mman.h: No such file or directory

That's just the beginning of the errors.

If it helps:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.24# gcc -v

It looks like there's something seriously wrong; can anyone point me
toward what I can do to fix it?
