It seems that the official gcc for the kernel is now 2.95.3 : http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/docs/kernel-newsflash.html/ However, on lkml, some people seem to prefer 2.96 from Redhat (latest version). And the XFS project seems to recommend egcs-1.1.2. WHat is the best choice now ? egcs, 2.95.3 or 2.96 from Redhat ? -- Document your data layouts. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plaugher)
