Subject: gcc-2.96 and kernel

Hi,

(I suppose people track this info, but a remark never hurts...)

Just updated Mandrake gcc to gcc-2.96-0.37mdk. Interesting point:
* Thu Feb 15 2001 David BAUDENS <[email protected]> 2.96-0.37mdk

- Fix build on PPC :)

* Thu Feb 15 2001 Chmouel Boudjnah <[email protected]> 2.96-0.36mdk

- Break build on PPC ;).
- Red Hat patches, Jakub Jelinek (rel74) 5 new patches :
- fix last cpp patch so that no whitespace is inserted at start of line
if last macro expansion resulted in no tokens (Neil Booth)
- fix ICE during printing warning about overloading decisions (#23584)
- honor no implicit extern "C" on linux in cpp
- fix layout of __attribute((packed)) enums in bitfields (showing up
in Linux DAC960 driver)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
..

The last thing remaining to recommend 2.96 ? Who knows...
