I don't have the patch, sorry, but a few quick thoughts:

  * doesn't RedHat 7.x have gcc 2.95.x installed as kgcc? I don't
    think the original gcc 2.96 could build the Linux kernel

  * the patch probably found its way into gcc 2.95.3 or the
    the gcc 2.95.4 prerelease in CVS (not obviously marked in the
    changelog, though) - you could try one of those instead.

Good luck,
Rup.

kgcc is egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16 , I get confused by the whole egcs/gcc thing and can't remeber where this version fits in.

Managed to build 2.95.3, will see if that meets our requirements.

Thanks for you help,

How to supress this warning

[Matthias Oltmanns]

Hi,

i would like to supress the following warning:

warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0
is always false

Which of the warning flags is appropriate to supress the warning? GCC
version is "gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85)"

Thanks in advance.
Matthias

Has anyone got the patch for gcc2.95.2/glibc2.2 ?

[Huw Lynes]

For legacy reasons I need to build a copy of gcc2.95.2 on a RedHat7.2 box (glibc 2.2.4-29). It falls over during the compile. Having done a bit of googling I find mention of a patch for gcc2.95.2 to make it compatible with glibc2.2
The only links to this patch I can find are dead.
I'm hoping someone has a copy of this patch and can post it.

Thanks,
Huw
