fill me in. Everything else seems to work fine on the
CD.
Did you mount /dev/pts, which is usually done with a line in /etc/fstab:
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=0622 0 0

emed willing to step in
(at the time Cygnus only had 4 GCC engineers, and like now there was always
more GCC work to do than bodies to do work). The trouble is it takes a lot of
time from your paying job to actively participate (figure 4 week long meetings
a year, plus the time to read documents,
well). Note, I seriously doubt Linus will want a flag day (ie,
after a given kernel release, you must use revision n of the compiler, but
before that release, you must use revision n-1 of the compiler), so you still
have to maintain support for the old GCC way of doing things, in addition to
the C9
of the compiler, but

have to maintain support for the old GCC way of doing things, in addition to
the C99 way of doing things probably for a year or so.

As I recall Bernd Schmidt recently found a number of places where the above
construct is used in the Linux kernel.

level, what was on the stack and in the registers when main started, and
possibly other criteria. Just because a program is executing, it doesn't mean
it is correct.
Both the kernel and the compiler are large complex pieces of software, and
almost certainly have bugs in them, and over the yea
it doesn't mean
it is correct.
