Perhaps it's just time to says that 2.96 is too old and too buggy to build the v2.5 kernel. Given that (a) 2.96 is known to miscompile the MCA code and (b) the distros are moving to gcc3.x anyhow, I think this isn't unreasonable. And for those who hate to build the toolchain themselves, there is gcc-3.1.tar.gz at ftp.hpl.hp.com. Just extract it, replace the assembler, then do: make CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc3.1/bin and you should be in business. --david
