gcc-3.0.2 and 2.4.14-pre1

gcc-3.0.2 and 2.4.14-pre1

[J . A . Magallon]

Hi.

Results of building with 3.0.2
- It works
- Kernel Sizes:
	903449 Oct 26 00:38 vmlinuz-2.4.14-pre1-beo			(2.96)
	864599 Oct 26 00:25 vmlinuz-2.4.14-pre1-beo.old		(3.0.2)
- Modules Sizes:
	2750    /lib/modules/2.4.14-pre1-beo
	2758    /lib/modules/2.4.14-pre1-beo.org
	werewolf:/lib/modules# modprobe -l | wc -l
   	  71

So it looks like the code is not bigger (modules) but some data structure
in main kernel...

Aren't these figures swapped in some way? I find it hard to believe
that 2.96 would produce the 40k bigger kernel.

Quite likely due to the 16 bytes alignment that takes place (AFAIK).

Uhh...you misread it.  The 2.96 is the top one, which is bigger.

Ciao!

My Fault, bigger is 3.0.2.
