No, it isn't gcc2.95, it is the kernel, the 2.2.x one. 2.3.x will boot, but
the curent kernel versions are so buggy with so many compile errors :-((

f50 is chrp, good to know.

Yes, something from OF -> linux is broken.
Prep and powermac should compile and work with 2.2.x (>= 10) and gcc2.95.
Chrp is broken for 2.2.x
If we in time for the release with 2.4, i'll put an extra kernel image for
chrp onto the boot-floppies.
I have only one chrp system, and currently the auto-builder run on this
machine.
