OK, let's set a few things straight:
- RH 7 ships a gcc patched from CVS sources in order to take advantage of better (on ix86 mainly) optimizations on userland - RH 7 ships kgcc for compiling the kernel, as the 2.2 kernels are known to be broken and not compilable with new gcc's - No, the kernel won't be fixed. The work is huge, and the risk is much too high - Yes, 2.4 should compile with new gcc's. But then again, it isn't (and probably won't be, at least for some time) a supported configuration -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
