That's probably the most polite version of "pay attention at the back of the class" I've seen :-) That's the same link as in your original email, which it's pretty clear I paid no attention to on my initial reading. > In gcc-2.95.3, if you pass -B and it's not > needed for anything, it will issue a warning on stderr In which case, I'd say just bump the GCC version requirement. Are there really any distributions out there that supply a kernel compiled with gcc >= 3.0 but have gcc-2.95.3 as the default compiler? I suspect there's not many and if there are they're not common anymore. I note that Greg pointed out that the last release of Debian that contained GCC-2.95.3 was only superceded 18 months ago. I'm not sure that we should be catering to distros with such glacially slow release schedules :-) Seriously though, as long as the host requirements aren't too onerous and LFS continues to build on a variety of distributions, I'll be happy enough.
