I haven't actually, but I was speaking of 2.4.20-8, which others have used successfully with gcc3.3. Here's an excerpt from the changelog: * Use static inline in net/core/rtnetlink.c (closes: #194196). * Fixed multiline string literals: . drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c . driver/net/tokenring/olympic.c . driver/net/wan/sdla_chdlc.c . fs/reiserfs/super.c . arch/i386/math-emu/poly.h IIRC the above were the things that caused the problems.

what version of kernel-source are you using? I have 2.4.20-7 (from testing) and cannot compile with gcc3.3.

I don't think it's really relevant. I use both Debian kernel sources and make-kpkg, and it's not a problem for me. The problems building kernels with gcc3.3 were similar to the binutils a while back -- newer versions spat out bad code that earlier versions swallowed. The latest version of kernel-source-2.4.20 fixes the bad code, so the kernel now builds with gcc3.3. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Kernel will not compile
I use the deb-packages. On Unstable: kernel-package (8.040), gcc(3.3-2), kernel-source-2.4.20 (2.4.20-8). I also had problems before, which could be solved by changing the Makefile back to gcc-2.95 (eg. it compiled), but now, with the packages above, everything seems to be just fine.

I am running testing and gcc-3.3 is the default, but builder-cc gives you two environment variables to set the architecture and gcc-version. So, instead of editing files, I set DEBIAN_BUILDARCH=pentium and DEBIAN_BUILDGCCVER=2.95 and off I went. I assume this will work with kernel compilation as well as any other compliation. I was building a new kernel module and gcc-3.3 was having a lot of problems with my old kernel source. See man builder-cc. Also, thanks to whoever thought of this way to manage multiple gcc versions.

Either use gcc 2.95 or 3.2, or get a newer kernel: for example, 2.4.20 has fixed that particular mistake. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
