At the risk of starting a flaim war....that's not fair. We can argue about
it's releasability (not sure that's really a real word!), but the fact
remains that the numbers of bugs fixed in 2.96 is massive, and the
kernel not compiling properly is something the kernel guys need to (and
have for 2.2.18pre) fix. You also need to remember that Linux!=i386, and
the other archs (Sparc and especially Alpha) benefit greatly from this
change to the compiler.

I do agree they went about it the wrong way...gcc should be egcs 1.1.2
(gcc 2.91) and possibly egcc (experimental gcc ??) should be 2.96, but of
course, that's just my opinion :)
