Currently I'm working with ARM based embedded systems. I prefer 2.4 kernels to 2.6 as they are smaller thus leaving more flash for jffs2. Not speaking of the kernel a gcc 4.1.1 compile of code for a LPC2103 resulted in a clearly smaller binary as the same compile with gcc 3.4. Thus I really would like to be able to use gcc 4.x with 2.4 kernels. There are even kernel miscompiles with gcc 3.4 that might be fixed with gcc 4 (one has to try). -- Andreas Steinmetz SPAMmers use robotrap@domdv.de - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
