[CentOS] Compiling kernel-2.6.13...

Hi.  I'm trying to use CentOS4.2 for some audio work (ie. sound editing,
etc.).  I found a site called PlanetCCRMA
(http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/) and decided that I
would give some of their applications a try (hoping that it would not
affect my system greatly!).

At first I tried the Fedora 3 packages (and they do work), but what I
really wanted to do is to download the source packages and rebuild them
for my system.  I was able to successfully build their custom
kernel-2.6.10-2.1.ll for my system but they have one available
(kernel-2.6.13) that would run my system a little more efficiently
(which I need because my system is a Pentium III and I just can't afford
a new system just yet).

Any how, I tried to compile the source rpm only to encounter an error to
the effect of:

./include/linux/kernel.h:10:20: stdarg.h: No such file or directory

Is there something wrong that I can't compile this kernel?

P.S.  I've also tried compiling other kernel versions that they have
such as 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 (with exactly the same error message).  I
"googled" the problem and found that it might have to do with gcc
(http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=1732038).  Can
anyone help me compiling new kernel?  I've posted full error message
below.  Thanks!

Sincerely
Jose
