RE: Kernel compile problems

Warnings aren't really anything to be all that worried about.  If you have a
kernel, just be happy :o)

Subject: Kernel compile problems


Hi. I've just installed 7.0 on a blank disk and now
understand there is a 'kgcc' that must be used to
compile the kernel. I removed gcc and linked kgcc to
gcc and cc in /usr/bin. Now, I'm receiving the
following assembly errors:

cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-fr
ame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=
2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586   -c
-o apm.o apm.c

What's going on? The kernel compiles okay, but this
doesn't give me the warm-and-fuzzy... Why does this
seem so half-assed?

thanks.
