Anything from gcc 3.2 to 4.3 is supposed to work for 32-bit kernels; 3.3
to 4.3 are the blessed ones for 64-bit kernels.
I'll look into that build problem ... hmm... First thing I'm hitting
with 3.4.6 and binutils 2.18 is:
[ralf@denk linux-mips]$ make malta_defconfig
[ralf@denk linux-mips]$ nice -19 make
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-stack-protector"
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/mips/Kconfig
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-stack-protector"
With the offending line in the main Makefile commented out I get the same
error messages as you. Initial fix below.
