The timeline for compilers would be simple - there is no need to support any other compiler than 2.95.3 as long as it is the recommended compiler version in the kernel documentation. Most people that compile kernels for their computers do not have insider information on kernel development so the kernel (including drivers) should compile with the instructions provided with the sources. yours, Jouni
