Better to wait till the 4.1 or 4.0.1 version.

Re: Compiled on gcc 4.0

Yeah, on distrowatch yesterday there was some warning about gcc 4 and it not working on some kernel compiles. 

That said, I am using morph patches with 2.6.11 and gcc 4 w/o problems so far.

Re: Compiled on gcc 4.0

a drastic compiler change is always rough for a bit - give developers some time to catch up...

Well, the only thing I can think of that REFUSES to compile with gcc 4.0 is mplayer.

Re: Compiled on gcc 4.0

Everything I've seen states that 4.0.0 is currently making slower binaries on the 32-bit platform than the current 3.4 series. Anybody got any first hand with this?

Re: Compiled on gcc 4.0

They changed the internals of gcc quite a lot (the ssa stuff), so they need some time to optimize it again.

I hope we get 3.4.4 and stay there until 4.1 is ready.

Re: Compiled on gcc 4.0

It works for me (but it's a custom config so may be it's not for you)

$ cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.6.11.10-DTZ (root@torindan) (gcc version 4.0.0) #1 Fri May 20 09:54:28 EEST 2005
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.0/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,objc --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.0
