kernel build from gcc 3.3.2 to gcc 3.4.1


hello everybody,

i am running a kernel 2.4.26 on my Pentium II ... i was using my favorite gnome gcc 3.3.2
with a glibc 2.3.2, trying to follow the evolution of the desktop gnome 2.6, 2.7, ... 2.8 (soon) !

once, i decided to build and use the next generation of gcc aka 3.4.1 ! no problem to build and install this new compiler ! but since this time, i'm not able to build my kernel anymore

the following is the problem reported by the link editor :

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/builds/gnome/linux-2.4.26/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -DKBUILD_BASENAME=main -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1


some of the standard header files may have changed ???
may somebody help ?

Building Kernel with gcc other than 2.05

Hi,

AFAIK the only valid gcc for building the kernel is 2.95

The docs says it can be done with the newer once,
but it must not nececarily work.

I don't know about your settup,
but under debian it is no problem to have have several gcc versions installed simultantiously.
Then you can selext the gcc to use before you compile the kernel.

(I think it is with "update-allternatives"
