I just did exactly those steps on a RedHat 6.1 system (ntlug.org) and had no 
problems.

I suspect that you have been bitten by the default compiler on RedHat 7. Try 
doing the "make" and the "make test" with CC=<whatever the name is of the 
"kernel compiler">, i.e.:

	make CC=kgcc
	make CC=kgcc test


Assuming kgcc is the name of the kernel compiler.


Let us know.
