I also seen to have ended up with gcc 3.3 (was 2.95) which does worry me as it's not fully cleared for use with the Linux kernel source I use (2.4.20). I tried a kernel compile, which worked after I'd fixed 3 known issues but I'm a bit cagey about actually running the new kernel.
Does anyone on the list run a Linux kernel compiled with gcc 3.3 and, if so, are there any problems?
I have done, (possibly am now on my home machine bit hard to tell though from work) the main problem I had was a 3rd party module wouldn't compile. Anyhow you should still have gcc 2.95 3.0 and 3.2 installed, in which case the real way to build a kernel would be to use make-kpkg and when building do
MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-3.2" make-kpkg --revision=foo kernel_image
as detailed in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz (or you could use things like gcc-2.95 or whatever.
