Excuse me, but shouldn't it be a goal to have the kernel compiling 
cleanly on gcc-3.0 as soon as is reasonable?
Telling people to use older versions of GCC for the kernel is not really 
a "good" thing if it can be avoided.
Personaly I don't use gcc-3.0 yet, but some do, and many will follow, and 
when they do, it'd be nice to have the kernel compiling cleanly, would it 
not?
They want a fix, not a one-line editorial. They're reporting a "bug", so 
that it may be fixed.

No need to jump the gun, this is a real problem, unrelated to gcc-3.0.

I get the same error with Debian stable 2.2.r3
	$ gcc --version
	2.95.2

Yes, it compiled, but Netscape-4.75 either kills it, or locks up.
So there are other problems.
Nothing in logs. booting back to pre2 is ok

2.4.10pre5 doesnt compile for rd. It looks like the same error I got when 
I applied Al's patch to -ac (and thus took it back out)

Just in case anybody wondered it doesn't compile with gcc-3.0.1 either.

Re: 2.4.10-pre5

Since I have gotten a decent amount of flame mail from my one-liner posted 
yesterday, I am just curious.  Has anyone really been able to successfully
compile their kernel with gcc-3*.  I did once or twice long before it was
released, but it dies on the same error everytime.  I posted it to the 
GCC mailing list because it was an internal compiler error, but it went
unanswered, along with other reports of the same bug.  Anyway, I just want
to see if someone really is able to use it as a reliable compiler.

I've used it several times.  I thought that I experienced a compiler bug
at one point, but then I found that the same behavior occurs with
2.95.3, so...

I had problems with pre-release versions, but gcc-3.0 works fine for
me. I've got two boxes with K6s, this one running 2.4.6 (gcc-3) and the
other was running various fairly recent kernels through to 2.4.8-pre3 
compiled with gcc-3. I've seen strange errors with 2.4.7-ac5 (messages about
loss of clock data, and trying to compile gcc-2.95.3 gave sig 11), but I'm 
not ready to lay those at the compiler's door. (The test box has turned into
a linux from scratch system using gcc-2.95.3, it will be a little while 
before I get gcc-3 back up on it).

I've been compiling kernels since June 22 with 3.0, never a
 problem. -pre5 and -pre6 compiled with 3.0.1 backing out the
 rd.c changes.
