Compilers (was Re: 2.4.11 don't work yet.)

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxx>]

Compilers are still a touchy subject... we just found one compiler bug
last week  w/ the RH 7.1 version of GCC, which caused filesystem
corruption if you use xfs_growfs.  gcc 3.0.1 from Mandrake did not
exibit this problem...

In short, "kgcc" is still the only compiler that we have a lot of
confidence in - others may work most of the time, but I still don't have
a "warm fuzzy" about any of them.
