Hi, I tried to run a program statically linked compiled in my new k7 with gcc 2.96 on an old laptop with a 2.0.34 kernel and I get FATAL: kernel is too old. I checked the unstripped file with strings and I found cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease just before the FATAL error line.Then I hunted for error function among the few header files included with no luck. Is there a way to avoid this with a particular gcc flag? TIA ben -- I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me and I' m afraid that' s somethig I cannot allow to happen ...
