Hi Suresh,
I am putting this paragraph from changes file here for more
clarity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The recommended compiler for the kernel is gcc 2.95.x (x >= 3), and it
should be used when you need absolute stability. You may use gcc 3.0.x
instead if you wish, although it may cause problems. Later versions of gcc
have not received much testing for Linux kernel compilation, and there are
almost certainly bugs (mainly, but not exclusively, in the kernel) that
will need to be fixed in order to use these compilers. In any case, using
pgcc instead of egcs or plain gcc is just asking for trouble.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Infact I tried using my present gcc version itself but "make modules"
gave following error :
Either source and destination registers must be the same,
or either source or destination register must be SFBR.
make[2]: *** [sim710_d.h] Error 255
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_scsi] Error 2
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2
