[KJ] FIx kernel build warnings

[KJ] FIx kernel build warnings

[David Farning]

I am interested in working on some kj projects.

First, I thought that I would look at fixing some of the compile
warning.
TODO LIST 
<snip>
- Fix gcc 4 warnings.
  [D: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t\x110348353800003]
  Note: Set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n to make compiles faster and smaller.

The thread link looks pretty old.  Which version of gcc should the kernel be compiled against.

hi david,

you may try anything that is supported: gcc3 or gcc4 or icc.
other commercial compilers have problems since the kernel build only
with a LOT of gcc features.
beware: some versions of gcc have know problems.
A good way to test is using 'make randconfig'. if you have some experience:
try to use a crosscompiler to check different architectures.

For that specific task I would recommed Gcc 4.1.1
