Q: Are there any known issues about gcc 2.95 for compiling the XFS kernel tree?
Yes. So far there were some problems reported with kernels built with
-gcc 2.95 which were solved by compiling it with egcs 2.91.66 (or kgcc
-on RedHat 7.x systems). So for now please use version gcc 2.91.66 (aka
-egcs 1.1.2) to build your XFS kernel. If you are using a debian or
+gcc 2.95 which were solved by compiling it with egcs 2.91.66[*] So for
+now please use version gcc 2.91.66[*] to build your XFS kernel. If you are
using a debian or
SuSE based system this means that you may have to find and install
this egcs version. Please note that the problems with gcc 2.95 seem to
be restriced to the i386 platform - on the ppc it works just fine with
2.95 for instance. All said for gcc 2.95 also applies to redhat's gcc
2.96. On the other hand the gcc 2.95.3 (20010125) from debian unstalbe
seems to work.

+[*] It's called kgcc on a Red Hat system and are located in the
+compat-egcs package, on a Linux-Mandrake system it's located in the
+egcs package.
