Hi,
I heard that 2.96 is again a devel version of gcc which is sorta unstable.I

It was a CVS snapshot.

heard posting saying that we shud downgrade to 2.95 possibly.I think with RH 7.1
,u no longer need kgcc to compile things correctly.gcc itself works.In fact,i

For most userland programs it seems to be fine but I have encounterd some utilities that don't like it.
For kernels kgcc might be a better solution.


heard sby commenting that now kgcc seems broke in RH 7.1 and so it is safe to
use only gcc in RH 7.1;while it was mandatory  to use kgcc in RH 7.0!!!!

Not that I know off.

    I also heard that binaries produced by gcc 3.0 are going to be somewhat
incompatible with the older binaries.

No, you mean the object code. Not the binaries itself but the intermediate binary form that you have before creating the actual binary. C code -> object code -> Binary

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
