All kernels (and kernel modules) are compiled using gcc-2.7.2.x. But: full egcs is included. The list of programs that we had to use gcc-2.7.2.x for is rather short (e.g. tetex which still throws an internal error in egcs).
So this means??? a) /usr/bin/gcc is 2.7? b) /lib/libc.so.6 does or does not exist? (is it still the "secondary" libc sitting in /usr/i486-linux-libc6, or is it "primary"?) c) related to above, if I compile my hello.c program with the system (/usr/bin/gcc) gcc, will it by default link against libc.so.5 or libc.so.6? d) if egcs isn't the system compiler (supposing it lives in /usr/local/bin) then what libc will it link programs with by default. e) will most rpm's be rebuilt with egcs and libc6 if possible, or will the majority of shipped rpm's just be libc5 based and "compatable"?
