I think there is even some explicit warning somewhere that gcc-2.95-compiled kernels are bad for your health or something. If you ask Linus (or read Documentation/Changes), you are told to use gcc-2.7.2.3, no kidding. 2.3.17 is now running, although I had to recompile it once; make oldconfig had eaten my CONFIG_ADBMOUSE. Someone is playing games with the config options. In make menuconfig, the "APPLE DESKTOP MOUSE" is marked as "NEW". Mine doesn't look very new anymore :-) -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
