linux-2.6.0-test8 compile - How do I change the default compiler?

[James McDonald]

Hi Y'all,

I'm running RH9.0 with a

	gcc --version

output of
        
        gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
and a
        gcc296 --version
output of

	2.96

I've tried editing the Makefile for the linux-2.6.0-test8 source to have

HOSTCC = gcc296
HOSTCXX = g++296
CC = gcc296
But It complains about frame pointers

Should I

A. Just compile it with 3.2.2 (which appears to work)
B. follow the recommendation in the kernel documentation and use 2.9x 
and if so... How do I get it to point to the gcc 2.96 compiler?

***** NEVER MIND ******

I just revisited it as I was trying to write this and discovered that I had
        CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
in my .config and  changing it to

	# CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set

fixed the issue.....

grrr... 4yrs of constant use and I'm still a newbie sometimes.

A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
