This is a common question on the gcc mailing list, and indeed it's in the gcc
FAQ, although I believe that the FAQ answer is incomplete.
The short answer is:
2.0 kernels should only be compiled with gcc-2.7.2.x
2.2 kernels should compile with most releases of egcs.
2.2 kernels should also compile with gcc-2.95.2, as long as the
`-fno-strict-aliasing' flags is used.
RH7 includes a development snapshot of gcc, rather than a released version. It
is *not* gcc-2.95.2. It should, however, be capable of compiling the kernel.
Cheers,
John
