FYI, gcc 3.0.1 seems to build working baseline 2.4.10 and 2.4.10+kernprof i386
kernels for my 2-CPU PentiumII SCSI test system. My kernprof kernel has
Mcount enabled, which means 3.0.1 appears to properly handle the -pg option
that was troublesome for previous gcc versions (and required that gcc patch).
I am not guaranteeing that gcc 3.0.1 is flawless. My testing was perfunctory
and certainly limited in scope. I am simply suggesting that those of you who
wish to experiment with i386 Mcount (using "-t cc" or "-t acg") and who don't
want to go to the trouble of patching gcc 2.95.x, or who had trouble with
2.96.x from Red Hat 7.1, ought to consider downloading 3.0.1 and trying it
yourself.
