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 ??

Ohh sorry asking w/o g00gling...
I just found
GCC manual : "the default configuration is to perform a 3-stage
bootstrap of the compiler when ‘make’ is invoked. This will build the
entire GCC system and ensure that it compiles itself correctly."
