gcc-2.95.3 and current gcc-2.95.4 snapshot seem to compile the XFS kernel correctly now (there were changes made to the xfs1.0 kernel code months ago because 2.95.3 optimized away some necessary inline code, but 2.95.4 seems to have fixed that problem). There are even more changes in the XFS development tree to work around problems in the 2.96 compilers. The horrible Makefile hack to force gcc-2.91.66 in the 1.0 release has since been removed. And there have been reports that the 3.0 snapshots do a good job on the XFS kernel code too. cheers. -- Nathan
