SubjectRecommended compiler? - Re: [patch] kernel/module.c (plus gratuitous rant)
Date
So which is the recommended compiler for each kernel version 2.2.x,
2.4.x(pre?) nowadays? I've pretty much kept gcc 2.7.2.3 around just for
compiling the kernel however now I hear you need egcs to compile 2.4? I
don't mind keeping 2.7.2.3 around in its own installation directory just for
the purpose of doing kernel work however from a previous post I've now got
the impression that egcs has become the recommended compiler? If I'm going
to keep a secondary compiler around (outside of gcc 2.95.2 which I still
hear is no good for kernel compiles) just for kernel work I'd prefer to use
my disk space on the recommended one.
