No dice. kgcc caused the same problem.
compat-egcs was already installed. Contrary to my previous statement, I think
I built my 2.4.2,3 kernels with it, but all since (2.4.4,5,6-pre3,9) with
2.96. It was probably a bit after the point I went from RH 7.0.90 to RH7.1
after reading a discussion on the mailing list.
However there is an inconsistency between the Makefile and the FAQ: the
Makefile implies that the ordinary RH compiler works since 7.1.
I have gcc3.0 installed too, but I think we'd be in clutching at straws land
there. I've probably just cvs updated too quick before the tree was tested.
