Any regressions in compatibility with gcc 4.x should be reported so that they can be fixed -- usually this means avoiding compiler warnings in subdirectories which are compiled with -Werror. Subdirectories which do not use -Werror have a reason for that -- e.g., not wanting to needlessly diverge from upstream qemu by putting in workarounds for otherwise harmless compiler warnings. -- Keir On 2/8/07 08:00, "pradeep singh rautela" wrote: > gcc 4.1.2 build fine for me though. > A little tweaking is certainly required in the config files to lower > down the paranoia of the GCC compiler for Xen. > > BTW Keir, any strong reasons for sticking to GCC 3.4 and not upgrading > to GCC 4.x series? > > Sorry if this has been discussed before, a link to the mail archive > will be really appreciated.
