Pasted this from linux-kernel, apologies to those who already recieve this, but I had problems running egcs and this confirms that it wasn't just me. I also have run gcc 2.8.0 and 2.8.1, both delivered less than satisfactory results. Hence SuSE still ships with gcc 2.7.2.1, which seems to do fine unless you want to run a recent dev kernel or use some apps and apis that require gcc 2.8.x/egcs, like GNUstep. Hopefully gcc or egcs will stabilize _Real_Soon_Now_, as the days left to the 2.0.x kernel are dwindling. Linus Torvalds wrote: ...these
kinds of continuing problems with egcs miscompiling the kernel make me nervous. And it makes me irritated that people _continue_ to patch the kernel instead of trying to fix the compiler.
