make errors involving speakup

[Chris Schulte]

Hi all,
I have been working with someone to help me install speakup v0.9B.  We are
both blind, and he is quite experienced where compiling kernels is
concerned.  I am using Slackware V7.1 curtesy of downloading zipspeak from
the slackware website.  The kernel we have chosen is 2.3.9 because it has
support for my sound card.  Everything seems to go fine, until making the
bzImage.  I have looked at the errors and they seem to all be speakup
related.  Here is what I have gotten for errors.
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fom

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance,
