I have a stock CD 8.2 GCC 3.# compiler and binutils system. I have found that most things seem to compile cleanly except for many "warnings" on this reload. I even got a stock "make cloneconfig" (which was edited from i586 to k6) and modules to compile. Modules did fail on rio.o. I removed it from .config and the kernel is running (after mkinitrd). Kernel Modules always seem to be the problem with a kernel compile. I have seen/heard that this is because different people write the modules and not all code is the same. I tried to compile LyX and it states there is a internal compiler problem. However, I tried "scribus" (www.scribus.com) and it compiled very clean.
Do you suggest upgrading GCC? If so which version is best
The gcc3.3 beta from the CD is Ok. The problem is the upgrade that is now in ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/gcc/8.2, the gcc3.3.1-0, that is broken concerning linux-2.4.20.SuSE compiles. Regards, Ivan
