*sigh* this isn't just powerpc. this is x86 too. I can't get ANY kernels to compile with gcc 2.95 or 2.91. Folks, I think at this point it's SERIOUSLY advisable to just abandon gcc 2.9x as primary and change it to optional. There's just too much stuff that will NOT compile with it. I mean, hell, the damn thing is spitting out asm errors for 'mov' on x86! I've had NO problems with 2.7.2.3 or 2.8.x to date. -prj
