If the kernel fails to compile, most of the time, it's a kernel bug. The kernel contains many gcc-isms. The developers say that even if it compiles under the latest gcc, it may not work correctly.

So, Will I be able to compile kernel Petrisor> 2.4.21 with gcc 1:3.3.1-0pre0? 2.4.20 has those lines changed. My 2.4.20 was compiled with gcc 3.something, and it seems to be working fine. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
