Hello Thomas
I say that because I experienced problems IN THE PAST with the first
kernels of 2.4.x series and gcc 2.96.
If the issues were solved, I'm perfectly happy (will switch to 2.96 again).
Thank you for the info and best regards
Miguel Dilaj

Why not? gcc-2.96 in RHL-7.1 was used to compile the kernel
that shipped, and all the updates since.
I've used it to build kernels from 2.4.2 through 2.4.7
without probelms, including lots of AC patches.
Having Alan Cox work for Red Hat helps keep the kernel
building with Red Hat's tools :)

No. The comipler can compile the code without error,
but it won't run correctly. egcs did this for a long
time. So did gcc-2.95. Now gcc-3.0 is having problems.
The kernel and/or the compiler will be fixed.
It takes time to do it though.
