Compiling 2.4 with gcc 3.4 will fail for certain configurations. Even
where it successfully builds there is always the danger that a more
modern that is aggressive optimizer will do unexpected things to code -
and OS code is very fragile in that aspect. Thus I recommend to use only
2.95.3 ... 3.3 for Linux 2.4.
For 2.6 anything between 2.95.3 ... 4.0 has been tested - but 4.0 is still
a bit on the daring side while 3.4 has been tested well on many platforms.
Of course you may always be lucky - or have too much time on your hands ;-)
