Mandrake does NOT (at least not in 7.x): they use a slightly patched (by themselves) v2.95.2 and named it as 2.95.3 in Mandrake 7.2 (although the actual 2.95.3 was released a few months after Mandrake 7.2). Although gcc 2.95.2 got many bugs, it is considered a "stable" release by GNU (http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/releases.html)... Redhat 7.0 uses 2.96 (or is it 2.97 ?) which IS a beta version of gcc and was never intended to be used as a production tool. BTW, the gcc team was very angry because of the RedHat 7.0 and even wrote a notice stating that any gcc relesaes between 2.95.x and 3.0 should NOT be used, but for testing/gcc-development purposes, see: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html > The problem is Linux kernel headers, I have just uploaded a version > that should fix it. I also put the 01/06/01 release on my web site (faster and no need to unzip it...). QDOS/SMS forever ! Thierry.
