I don't know enough about that distribution to know what gcc they distribute.

make linux-i686-elf should work.  If you run that, can you post the errors or
send them to me via email?  That might give a hint as to which compiler they
are distributing and might point out which compiler options are giving
problems.  I am using redhat 8.0 myself and it works just fine, although if
you back up to redhat 7.3 you can use Intel's compiler which is significantly
faster than gcc 3.2 for Crafty.  Unfortunately it won't work on redhat 8 as a
lot of include files change and cause the compiler to blow up.  Intel is aware
of the problem but no "fixes" yet.
