:I think, in general, it's best to stick with 2.95 compilers for the

:for compiling kernel source. You can do this by editing the
:kernel-source-2.4.20/Makefile and setting HOSTCC=gcc-2.95 and
:CC=$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc-2.95. If you have external modules you're
:building then you'll also want to add CC=gcc-2.95 to the
:environment. Like:
:
: CC=gcc-2.95 make-kpkg --revision foo.1 --bzimage kernel_image
:
:and then
:
: CC=gcc-2.95 make-kpkg --revision foo.1 --bzimage modules_image
Thanks! That worked. I should pay closer attention - I didn't even know
I still had 2.95 on the system after upgrading, if that's the word, to
testing.
