Subject: gcc compilation
Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 17:58:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A115480.60003@einfochips.com> (raw)

Hello,

I was compiling 2.6.29.7 kernel but it stopped as my system had gcc 
version 4.1.1.
There was some bug with respect to __weak attribute in gcc 4.1.[01]. So, 
I started installing newer gcc 4.3.0.

That was a history part. Now, I have a query.

If I am installing gcc 4.3.0. It will be compiled using gcc 4.1.0 as I 
have that installed on my PC. Now, gcc 4.1.0 has several BUGS and so 
compilation of gcc 4.3.0 will not happen correctly. How this situation 
is handled normally ??
