Bug#323570: kernel-source-2.4.27: Build fails with default gcc 4.0
Package: kernel-source-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-10
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,
Submitting as promised in #31763.
The package depends on non-specific gcc. This is now gcc 4.0 by default.
As discussed in #317637, build will fail unless gcc 3.2 is used.
Possible solutions:
1) Specific dependency on gcc 3.2. The problem is that /usr/bin/gcc may
well be linked to /usr/bin/gcc-4.0, as this is now required by quite a
few programs. I know that I had to manually re-symlink /usr/bin/gcc to
gcc-3 (not sure if it was 3.2, or 3.3 - sorry) in order to get it to
compile. I know that there is some sort of variable I could pass when
building, but I could not get that to work bor some reason.
2) Get it to build with 4.0 :-p
HTH,
George B.
