Thanks Chaim. Icannot follow your advice: I got this key as a
birthday, a couple of months ago. 
But the danger that I'll try to use the key on another linux
system presenting the same problem is very low in my case... I
shall recompile the kernel, instead.
Now, in the documentation coming with the kernel source they
recommend to use GCC vesrion 2.95.3. That is teribly old, and
probably hard to get. I guesss the documentation is not updated.
I recall that there was a time, 2 or 3 years ago when they
recomended to use the old 2.95.x version of gcc to compile the
kernel, while using the newer version for everything else. This
is, probably, long time passe. But, to be on the safe side, what 
is the present recommendation?
Cheers, Avraham
