Are you sure? >From the kernel README: | COMPILING the kernel: | | - Make sure you have gcc-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2) available. gcc 2.95.2 may | also work but is not as safe, and *gcc 2.7.2.3 is no longer supported*. | Also remember to upgrade your binutils package (for as/ld/nm and company) | if necessary. For more information, refer to ./Documentation/Changes. People using XFS have triggered code generation errors in GCC 2.95.x, I've read. -- Florian Weimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Stuttgart http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/ RUS-CERT +49-711-685-5973/fax +49-711-685-5898
