Compiler errors

["Minich, Raymond C" <RMinich@dresser.com>]

Hey y'all..........

Al Stevens in the latest issue (July 2001, pg 116) of DDJ kinda puts light
on the GCC issue with regards to Red Hat 7.0.

I'm not here to plug DDJ, just to let you know that with all the compiler
issue traffic that's been gracing my CRT there's a detailed explanation that
may be plausible.

He says the default gcc compiler that shipped with RH7.0 was "not blessed by
the GCC project and not capable of compiling the Linux Kernel". "Red Hat 7.0
.... unusable as development platform".  However kgcc is in the distribution
and is "a renamed version of GCC 2.95.2"  "Red Hat installs [kgcc] if you
specify you want to do kernel development".

I sure hope i put the quotes in the right place to comply with the "Fair Use
Doctrine' :>)
