Hi, I think (not sure) what you suggest would work, but I thought gcc 2.7.2.3 was required only for 2.0.x kernels and egcs was fine for the newer series.

Oh, yast complained about installing both compilers on my system so you should check to be sure that it is installed.

As far as I can tell, we are still advised to use gcc 2.7.2.3 to compile the kernel. Out of the box Suse kernels also seem to be compiled with this. But, in 6.2, egcs 2.91.66 is the default.

So, if I just do a make in /usr/src/linux 2.91.66 is used. According to gcc docs giving the -V2.7.2.3 option should be enough. My question is if I put -V2.7.2.3 at the end of the CC definition line in the main Makefile in kernel, would that be enough or do I need to do anything else?

egcs is *NOT* ready for kenerl compiling, yet. If you compile your kernel you must use gcc and the gcc frontend. If you install the gcc frontend you must remove egcs.
