Re: Odd problem compiling new kernel

["Jeffrey L. Taylor" <jeff@austinblues.dyndns.org>]

The gcc-3.x compiler does not work on the kernel.  Check what the
/usr/bin/gcc symlink points to.  If the gcc-3.x compiler, change it to
/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 or use environment variables to change the compiler
for just kernel builds.

HTH,
  Jeffrey
