Just FYI, on Athlon XP, at least, the kernel (2.6.11,7) runs fine compiled with gcc-4-rc1. I had to fix a couple of GCC4-isms with a patch that I got from the fedora site. http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/kernel/ I always hate it when the kernel boys tell us to use an old compiler, so I do the 'my distro, my rules' thing. I did try to build with Ryan's scripts yesterday, and got in a bit of a pickle building glibc-2.3.5 for the cross toolchain. I think it's more likely my fingers and the aged grey mush driving them than Ryan's scripts (ld couldn't find -lc in configure) - I know I need to do more research on how the cross compiling method works. Today I have been working as a flooring-fitter for the mother-in-law, so I'm nackered - expect no progress.
