Yes, but testing doesn't mean that it works!!!!
In the Change Summary for linux-2.2.14pre9 he mentioned
o gcc 2.95 changes
so I think there are still problems with the compiler....
Try reading this:

and this :

and :

and:

and :

This should be enough information for now....

Mandrake 6.0 used the -O6 ...and so on... options!

I din't want to believe all this, but after several crashes
I will compile my kernels with gcc-2.7.23.
I think Cooker has a great potential, but nobody wants a unstable
Linux Distriution....
