User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 (X11/20090302) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: lkml Subject: gcc compilation Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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 ?? -- Thanks, Viral Mehta, Embedded Software Engineer, www.einfochips.com
