Compiling kernel with SuSE 8.2/gcc 3.3

Hello all,

during tests with latest SuSE distro 8.2 compiling 2.4.21-pre6 showed a lot of "comparison between signed and unsigned" warnings. It looks like SuSE ships gcc 3.3 (prerelease). Is this compiler known to work for kernel compilation? Should therefore all these warnings be fixed?

Regards,
Stephan
