Hi,
I have Fedora Core 1 installed on my machine and now I need to
compile kernel 2.4.22 on this machine. FC1 comes with gcc3.3.2 while
this kernel document says the gcc version needs to be 2.95.

I just wonder if anyone tried using gcc3.3.2 building kernel 2.4.22
successfully?

Thanks.

Good luck. My Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 system runs

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-49)

And I use it to compile the modules in the current kernel, 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp

There is also a legacy compiler, /usr/bin/gcc296 for older stuff, like
programs for IBM DB2 V8.1.7.

$ gcc296 -v
