Debian uses gcc272 for kernel; conflicts with NVidia-kernel-src

2002-01-17 Thread Rick Macdonald
When I build my kernel 2.2.19 (using make-kpkg), the gcc version is forced to gcc272. Installing and building the NVidia drivers (sid 2313), it forces you to use the same gcc version. But then the compile fails. I'm forced to build my kernel with 2.95.4. Is this a bug or what? gcc272 -c -Wall -W
