Compiling 2.4 with gcc 3.4 will fail for certain configurations. Even where it successfully builds there is always the danger that a more modern that is aggressive optimizer will do unexpected things to code - and OS code is very fragile in that aspect. Thus I recommend to use only 2.95.3 ... 3.3 for Linux 2.4. For 2.6 anything between 2.95.3 ... 4.0 has been tested - but 4.0 is still a bit on the daring side while 3.4 has been tested well on many platforms. Of course you may always be lucky - or have too much time on your hands ;-) Ralf
