Kgcc is still shipped with redhat 7.1, but it's not installed by
default. It lives in gcc-compat package, which is used mainly to compile
binaried compatible with rh 6.2, or so redhat says. Official redhat
kernel compiler in 7.1 is gcc-2.96-85, which appears to compile kernel
correctly. SGI people who do port of XFS to Linux say that this compiler
is ok to compile their patch with latest kernel too. However, "official
supported" gcc is still 2.91 AFAIK, so if you compile with 2.96 and
later complain about oopses, first thing you will hear is "recompile
with 2.91". Personally I used 2.96 and it appears to be "ok", however my
kernel is still compiled with 2.91. I had enough problems with hardware
lately, I don't need another antropy source.
Haim.
