I don't know when the change came in (some time ago I thought, but I can't be bothered going through the patches to resolve what, for me, is no more than a debating point), but this is in 2.4.17: The Red Hat gcc 2.96 compiler subtree can also be used to build this tree. You should ensure you use gcc-2.96-74 or later. gcc-2.96-54 will not build the kernel correctly. Ask them for an update that takes this into account. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
