Ahhh, that would make plenty of sense. If thats the case then I can probably wrap up some of the changes I have made, and do one last build to ensure everything flys right. Then once I am satisfied with the outcome I can drop what I have on a server for you guys to check out for yourselves. I guess I never noticed they had dropped that recommendation..Thanks for the heads up.

the reccommendations of the kernel devs and use it. Better safe than
sory.

I don't know at exactly what point that recommendation went out of date, but it certainly sat in the kernel documentation directory long after it no longer applied. I think it was due to the relative instability of the early gcc 3 series rather than anything else.
