I have a couple of newbie-ish questions. (1) How does one set the compiler when compiling the (linux) kernel?
I had the impression it was just a few settings in 'Makefile' and that it just entails changing the following: --- (Makefile) HOSTCC = gcc HOSTCXX = g++ --- to --- HOSTCC = gcc-2.95 HOSTCXX = g++-2.95 --- Beyond that I tried aliasing--both didn't do anything (it compiled with gcc 3.3.3). About the only thing I didn't do was remove the more recent version of gcc. ASIDE - What sort of problems arise if one compiles the kernel with gcc (3.3.3) versus gcc-2.95 (the one Linus recommends)? Seems as if fakeroot (what I use to compile) does something funny... ----------- (2) Is there a supermount patch for the 2.6 series kernel? (I noticed there is a patch for the 2.4 kernel series.) If I haven't missed it... are there plans to put it into the debian patches (for the kernel-source-2.6.0 package)? (Call me Micro$oft corrupted... but it seems like a useful feature and I can't help think mounting CDs and floppys is pretty silly if the computer can doing it automagically.)
