well, it is known that kernel source is a bit picky about compilers and kernel developers don't want to be bothered with bug reports that might be caused by using a different compiler version than that stated in the toplevel README and Documentation/Changes files of the kernel source distribution, which currently is linux 2.5.4 plus patch 2.5.5-pre1. in the meantime, i have tested the debian packages gcc 2.95.4-9, gcc-3.0 3.0.3-1 and a fresh compile of gcc-2.95.3 from gcc.gnu.org, and the error shows up in all versions. to make it clear, this compile error is totally irrelevant to the question if there was a debian package available for the gcc version required for compiling the 2.5 development kernel, and so i did not give any details of that error. -- peter koellner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
