Linux 2.4.21 working OK compiled with GCC 3.2.2
Hi all :))
I had no problems or ICE's compiling this kernel with GCC 3.2.2
and, although not thorougly tested yet, all 'major' parts work ok for me (compiling, mail, disk, CD writing, USB, networking, etc...).
I notice a bit more disk performance, but I cannot prove it with
numbers. Maybe when I have the time...

gcc 3.2.2 has some nasty bugs... At least, I have been smashing my head against a wall for a long time, until I discovered that all my OOPses and crashes with the ymfpci driver were caused by gcc 3.2.2.

Darn... I think I should update then, although I'm not sure I'm
affected by the O_DIRECT miscompiling bug :??
Thanks for the warning, Felipe :)
