Thanks Phillip;
I will check it but I bet it fails. That is because out of about 25 or 30 programs only "Ytree-1.78" worked. I tried 2.4.21, 2.5.57 custom configured and both failed.

[Mon, 23 Jun 2003 09:32:24 -0500]: So, I tried to compile SuSE's stock 8.2 kernel with their /boot/vmlinuz.config as the /usr/src/linux/.config file on a 100% fresh CD load (second time for SuSE 8.2).
try it with 'make cloneconfig' This worked correctly. I only changed the CPU from a i586 to k6 which is one reason I am trying to recompile the kernel.
No, it's not! The complete 8.2 distribution was compiled with exactly that version of gcc.
This is likely true also but the failure is in the same place.

Most definitely not! The whole distribution is compiled with *exactly* the tools you find on the CDs/DVDs.
Well then how come 8.0 with a 2.95.3 compiler worked so well and 8.2 fails so often? INFO: /usr/src/linux is linked correctly and mrproper was run before make cloneconfig. The Makefile option "cloneconfig" is not found in a generic kernel either (so it has been modified also).
