gcc-3.0 with 2.2.x ?

gcc-3.0 with 2.2.x ?

[Steve Kieu]

Hi,

I can use gcc-3.0 to compile 2.4.8-ac7 but can not do
that with 2.2.19

The error message is

/home/linux/include/linux/signal.h:205: warning:
deprecated use of label at end of compound statement
sched.c: At top level:
sched.c:52: conflicting types for `xtime'
/home/linux/include/linux/sched.h:508: previous
declaration of `xtime'
sched.c: In function `schedule':
sched.c:739: warning: deprecated use of label at end
of compound statement
make[2]: *** [sched.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/linux/kernel'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/linux/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2

so I would like to know if there is any patches to
2.2.19 to make it friendlier with gcc-3.0. In the mean
time I am going to see sched.c and sched.h and try to
make it work :-)

thanks

I've got no plans to care about 2.2 and gcc 3.0. Trying to deal with all
the fun things gcc 3.0 does (quite legally too the ones I looked at) is
hard. The amount of work required to fix it is large and given 2.2 is
there for maximum stability also pointless, since its an untrusted compile
combination.
