Hi,

See http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/115921/4671

I'm trying to backport 3.13 to wheezy, using instructions in the kernel handbook, namely http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s4.2.5.

The main stumbling block seems to be (so far) that gcc 4.8 is required, indeed hardwired into the build. This seems to have been done by Debian, as I don't see a reason why Linux itself would require it. This has the effect in this instance of making this packaging somewhat backport-unfriendly.

Incidentally, the handbook refers to flavors, but does not say what the possible flavors are. Also, it seems for amd64, one needs to set arch to i386 and flavor to amd64, which is confusing.

Can you advise on how one can configure the build to use 4.7 on wheezy, if possible? Thanks.

                                                          Regards, Faheem
