Works fine for me. *** End of Linux kernel configuration. *** Check the top-level Makefile for additional configuration. *** Next, you must run 'make dep'. mizar:[.../linux/kernel-source-2.4.21] make CC=gcc-2.95 make[1]: Entering directory `/space/tmp/mdz/linux/kernel-source-2.4.21/arch/i386/boot' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `dep'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/space/tmp/mdz/linux/kernel-source-2.4.21/arch/i386/boot' rm -f .depend .hdepend make _sfdep_kernel _sfdep_drivers _sfdep_mm _sfdep_fs _sfdep_net _sfdep_ipc _sfdep_lib _sfdep_crypto _sfdep_arch/i386/kernel _sfdep_arch/i386/mm _sfdep_arch/i386/lib _FASTDEP_ALL_SUB_DIRS="kernel drivers mm fs net ipc lib crypto arch/i386/kernel arch/i386/mm arch/i386/lib" make[1]: Entering directory `/space/tmp/mdz/linux/kernel-source-2.4.21' make -C kernel fastdep make[2]: Entering directory `/space/tmp/mdz/linux/kernel-source-2.4.21/kernel' gcc-2.95 -D__KERNEL__ -I/space/tmp/mdz/linux/kernel-source-2.4.21/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -E -D__GENKSYMS__ signal.c [...] Yes, I know that's 2.4.21, but I'm not going to unpack a whole 2.4.20 tree to demonstrate that it works the same way.

That package doesn't contain any compilers; it just sets the default compiler and related tools, e.g. /usr/bin/gcc. > I fail to see how 2.95 installing 3.3 somehow equates to 2.95.
