what version of gcc can be used to build kernels on Linux/sparc64?

[Shanti Katta]

I would like to know what version of gcc is currently available to build
linux kernels on Linux/Sparc64. I would like the builds to generate
64-bit executables.

old egcs patched to compile at 64 bit or gcc 3.1 -m64

This is different fron kernel, you need to compile a 64 bit glibc (use
2.2.5 sources), and so on for all shared libraries you need, then you can
compile a 64 bit executable.
I just should add it will be slower than a 32 bit executable  and a little
bigger, so if you are not sure you need 64 bit because you binary will use
more than 3.6 GB RAM itself, you do not need a 64 bit executable.

Just use egc64 if its only for the kernel, or if you want to for the
kernel and some packages  use gcc3

I should have asked more specifically. But I am trying to compile
user-mode-linux on Ultrasparc(running Debian). egcs64 compiles just
kernelspace code. I want to know what compiler can be used to build
user-mode-linux(which contains some userspace and some kernelspace code)
64-bit on Ultrasparc? gcc-3.0 seems to give problems with linker. I am
not sure if any other version of gcc is capable of doing that.

Thanks in advance

Have you get the chance to try it with gcc-3.1? anyways gcc-3.2 was
scheduled to be released on 2002-07-2x so it should be released at any
moment, and the linker problems should be solved

Problems:

egcs64:	fails to compile 2.5 for me, because it doesn't support the 
	current syntax
gcc3.1:	1 unexpected failure is not too bad, but 25 unexpected successes 
	aren't too encouraging...
