This seemed as good an opportunity to de-lurk as any.

Squeak 3.0 built without a hitch on Debian/GNU 2.2, kernel version
2.0.38, glibc 2.1.3, and GCC 2.95.2.  I don't have SuSE installed,
so I would suggest you find the vanilla kernel sources on ftp.kernel.org,
unpack them someplace safe like /usr/local/src/, remembering to symlink the 
include directories to somewhere like /usr/local/include (and then
include -I/usr/local/include in the options to configure),
and try to build it.

If it doesn't work, you could send the error transcript to me off list,
and that should be sufficient to track down the configuration errors.
