Change the makefile to print out a nice error if gcc version >=4.0 #3 would be my preference; however, you still have the problem that people may attempt to compile a vanilla 2.4 kernel w/ gcc-3.3. IMO, this is something that should be checked for by kernel-package; only allow certain kernel versions to be compiled w/ certain versions of gcc, or even override the version of gcc that it's compiling w/. That is, if 2.4.27 is being compiled, kernel-package internally sets CC=gcc-3.3. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
