change glibc in such an incompatible fashion a few years back? That
created grief (and unstable releases) for months. One of the supposed
reasons for gcc 2.3 was better support for AMD chips. Also they have
tightened up a lot of "supposedly" benign violations in C++ syntax -
you get a lot more warnings out of software recompiled with GCC 2.3. GCC 2.3 is the wave of the future, but the crest is not here yet. The
kernel still recommends 2.95.x although it can be successfully
compiled with the new whiz kid.
