hello knudfl,i did succeed in installing the GCC-4.2.2,by making the default compiler gcc34(using command #export CC=gcc34 )...but i have a query regarding the output of the following command
# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ./configure
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.2 (GCC)
# cc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.2/configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.2 (GCC)
# g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.2/configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.2 (GCC)
i installed just without any parameters passed to ./configure..then make and then make install,moreover i installed GCC-CORE-4.4.2 and then used the command export CC=GCC34 again to reinstall the GCC-4.4.2 using this command
../gcc-4.4.2/configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran
now is it ok ..as to what i have done??i was able to make most of the commands for installation of the new kernel-2.6.31.6,but i am not able to get into the kernel successfully,"kernel panic" !!! ,i hope this isnt bcoz the way i have installed the new GCC-4.4.2
