Hi there,

I just read the following in the linux-kernel mailing list FAQ:

>What are the recommended compiler/binutils for building kernels?
>
>(REG) This depends on the kernel version. Until 26-OCT-2000, gcc 2.7.2.3 was
>the recommended compiler for all kernels. On this date, Linus announced that
>gcc 2.91.66 (aka egcs 1.1.2) is the recommended compiler for 2.4.x kernels up
>to version 2.4.9. Gcc 2.95.3 is the recommended compiler for kernel 2.4.10 and
>later.

In the XFS FAQ it says "use egcs 1.1.2." But what if I would like to use recent 
2.4.x kernels with XFS? I guess you don't want me to compile the XFS stuff with 
egcs-1.1.2 and the rest of the kernel with gcc-2.95.3? ;-)
