newbie question - gcc patch

["Wendy Cheng" <wendy.cheng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I think I need the gcc patch -

the system crashed during reboot.

Just pull the gcc source over and

it doesn't look like a trivial thing to

me.

 

Is there any kind soul who can give

me some pointers such as HOWTO

regarding to how to apply this patch

and recompile gcc ?

 

I'm on 2.4.19 kernel but the original

base was RedHat 7.3 (gcc 2.96-110)

 

Thank you very very much !
