egcs 1.1.2 for kernel compilation
Has anybody packaged egcs 1.1.2 for kernel compilation? It's still the official compiler for the Linux kernel, and there are definitely problems when using GCC 2.95.x instead. -- Florian Weimer[EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Stuttgart http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/ RUS-CERT +49-711-685-5973/fax +49-711-685-5898
