SubjectRE: Good luck when RedHat 7.0 comes out (was RE: test5 oops after kswapd)...

as i see it, the reason that we are in this state today is that most of
the time instead of finding out the bugs for gcc-kernel we are given
the reason below:

"the kernel has bugs of its own that we do not want anything introduced by
some buggy compiler".

When will this be resolve? when the kernel has no more bugs? :(

Maybe we have to address the issue that gcc may someday be the standard
compiler of major distros that someday somebody might be able to say:

Hey I got this great compiler that compiles everything except the kernel

:(
