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.
