I'm trying to fix this problem with installing gcc-4.4 on my Debian
Wheezy system.
Now when I have installed the gcc-4.4, I made a symbolic link:
ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 febr 2 06:34 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.4
The gcc symbolic link are linked before this to the /usr/bin/gcc-4.6.
Now I'm running the 'make' command in the kernel source file with the
.config setup file. Sofar it is successfull, but it is ongoing yet. I'm
waiting the make command to terminate successfull.
