Hm, yes...but not really like that :) different gcc version could produce different assembly lay out...and sometimes, it could screw up things like the assumption of field offset, register optimization, prolog and epilog of a function etc in short, to make sure it's 100% working with other kernel module and main kernel image (in the same kernel version), use exactly same gcc version. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
