Oops! this got put into the wrong thread. I need to compile an older version of the kernel (2.0.36). I can't use a newer version, because I need to use some non-standard patches in order to netboot via PXE. --Incidentally, anyone doing that with a modern kernel? Anyway, that version of the kernel bitches about the version of gcc. My last remaining 5.2 box (which I think has an old enough gcc) actually has pgcc on it. My understanding is that the compat-* packages of gcc and binutils are the older version of gcc, and they are installed. What I need to know is how do I specify to use them? Do I put something in a makefile, and if so what? Do I set an option when I do make? Is there a document about this? My understanding is that this issue is the whole purpose of the compat-* packages. Perhaps they should throw a simple readme into /usr/doc? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
