You can probably safely build 2.95.3 with 2.96, since the gcc build process works like so:
1) Build gcc with the existing compiler. 2) build gcc again with the compiler generated by step 1. 3) Build gcc again with the compiler generated by step 2. 4) Compare the results of steps 2 and 3 - If they're the same, install the compiler from step 3, else fail. -----Original Message----- From: Lionel Lecoq [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 9:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Newbie]trouble with 4.1.0?? (Radeon 32mb DDR/AMD Athlon/Asus A7M266) Hi, Possibly this does not belong fully in this thread, but the information could be helpful there too... I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.9 some weeks ago, then found out that having RH 7.1 I had probably used gcc2.96 which seems to be a NO-NO... On another PC I installed Roswell, it still has gcc 2.96 on it! trying to downgrade to 2.95.3 (this was a few weeks ago...) I realised it also had to be compiled (the chicken / egg problem) someone on this list told me I could compile it with 2.96 and then use it, another source mentionned that RH had not managed to compile their kernel with 2.96 and had included in the distribution a kgcc which is an older compiler (??!!??) and which one should use... can you make some light on the matter?
