You can install any version, it is not much important for those tools. Of course, you will need binutils too, so that the ".o" can be linked as a binary executable. Willy
i already have binutils installed in my system.but i have problem installing gcc. im not getting proper gcc binaries version for ubuntu, also i don't have net connected to my ubuntu linux, so i can't use sudo apt-get install gcc command...can you help.. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
