I had no problems building gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r10 using 4.3.2. Built fine and booted fine. I suspect there may be a driver here or there with a problem building under that compiler, but I suppose anything could happen at boot time. Let me know about cmake and whatever other issues you run into. If it's too big a problem I suppose I could save my world file and then just do a clean install using 2008.0 or something. If this problem goes on much longer then I may have to do that anyway. Gentoo has a low WAF right now... ;-) - Mark
