Bug#134197: gcc-2.95: gcc 2.95.4 cannot compile a bootable 2.4.17 kernel on some Alpha machines (fwd)
As a short followup, I've had reports that the DAC960 driver compiles
correctly with gcc-3.0 and one report that 3.1 works as well. I've heard
mostly rumours that other known kernel driver miscompilation problems are
also fixed in gcc 3.x. Unfortunately, I do not have a DAC960 nor any of
the other hardware to be able to test the problematic driver code out to
see if the drivers are compiled properly.
Also, for the record, I haven't built a kernel and booted it with the
Debian gcc 3.0 or 3.1 packages yet, so I'm not sure if the rest of the
kernel is compiled correctly enough to be able to rely on either of those
gcc versions. I have already added this test to my 'to-do' list, though,
so I'm hoping to try this out soon.
