Subject: kernel profiling

hi,

I am trying to do kernel profile using kernprof with the patch provided by
SGI on 2.4.18. I can't find the 2.95.3 gcc patch that must be used to
compile the kernel( the info on sgi's web site somehow is broken). Does
anybody know where the patch is ? or any alternative I can use, like
a more stable gcc version without the need for a patch?

thanks for your help

Hello,

I found that the default red hat 7.3 compiler (gcc-2.96-110)
did not need the patch and ran kernprof fine.
