Unable to compile 2.6.30-rc7 on RHEL 4 - GCC 3.4.6

Unable to compile 2.6.30-rc7 on RHEL 4 - GCC 3.4.6

[debian developer]

Hi all,

I am getting this error when trying to compile the latest rc:

The gcc version is as follows:
debiandev@inndesk171[80] gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk
--host=x86_64-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)


Is this gcc version no longer usable to compile the latest kernel?

Thanks,
DD

Hello!

As the message states, your compiler does not support this kernel feature.
You may want to disable CC_STACKPROTECTOR or use a gcc >= 4.2.

Regars,

Isn't this only a notification (warning if you will), not an error?

"This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution gcc
with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically detected
and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored. (and a

Hard to tell from here where the cause is. Cc'd Jeremy as somebody who
knows paravirt.h.  Thread start:  http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/25/303

Hi,

If you want to use recent kernel source 2.6.24/2.6.28,
I recommend that you have to update linux distribution from current
linux distribution to
RHEL 5.X ( or CENTOS 5.X) in my experience.

Refer to http://linuxdistrowatch.com website to select linux
distribution for you.

If you keep gcc 3.X.X to compile recent kernel source contiunally,
You will meet another problems again.

OK, so 3.x.x is officially not supposed to be used for compilation?

It not means that gcc 3.x.x don't support normal compilation of recent
kernel source officially. Below some cases is about gcc 3.x.x.

False, we support down to gcc-3.2.x.
