I am freshman in the Kernel development. I am trying to install Linux Kernel v2.6.34 on Ubuntu 16.04, because most of the books explains this version that's why I think it is a good start. My ultimate goal is to understand and modify memory management (especially in the latest Kernel). During compilation I have encountered with the following errors.

I tried, but I didn't success, nor I found any material/help about this error.
