Re: [INFO] gcc versions used to compile a kernel

[Stef van der Made]

Dear Sebastian,

This is very interesting as I've been compiling kernels with GCC 3.2.0 
and higher since the first beta I compiled. I've never had the issues 
that you are describing with kernel 2.5.70 and higher and 2.6.0 test 1> 
6. This most likly is a machine related problem. Which Linux distibution 
are you using and how uptodate is the rest of the machine.

Best regards,

Stef
