Hi,
Im unable to compile linux 2.6.14 with gcc 4.x, but new versions of
kernel i can compile.
with gcc 4.x.
It gives errors - that seem to disappear when compiled with gcc - 3.4.x
I really dont understand why?.
Is there anyway we can compile lower versions of linux using gcc 4.x.
Im using a arm-linux-gcc.
Regards,
sriram

There were changes to the kernel to get rid of 4.x problems, that at
least tells you why.

I can't even give you a guess on that, other than patching your kernel
with individual patches used to avoid compilation problems.
