For i386 2.2.18 gcc 2.7.2 or egcs-1.1.2 gcc 2.95 and current Red Hat 2.96 both seem to generate valid kernels but are not recommended (insufficient testing) 2.4.0test egcs-1.1.2 (gcc 2.95 miscompiles some of the long long uses) Red Hat's 2.96 seems to generate valid kernels but don't expect sympathy if you report a bug in one built that way - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ --------------1EA961A43AD5F63A5D50F6B9--
