BLFS Dev. Book version 2015-12-08
In the "Caution" section, I see an ominous warning (extract):
"compiling, with the new version, programs which use libraries compiled
with
the old version [5.1.0] is likely to give errors."
If anybody could, please, list a few examples of such potential programs
(typical, common,
not more obscure) that would be much appreciated.
If kernel modules are built with different versions of gcc, there is a
potential for a kernel panic. You might get away with it, but you do take
your chances.
The most common external kernel module is, I think, Nvidia. I haven't
personally run into others.
