Which version of gcc, which arch ? On NetBSD 1.1 you must keep the old. On NetBSD 1.2 you should be able to compile a kernel with the new one. However this is not recommended, because nobody will be able to help you if you have problems with kernels compiled with a non-netbsd gcc. NetBSD1.2 is shipped with gcc 2.7.2 which is really stable on i386 and sparc. -- Manuel Bouyer, MASI, Universite Paris VI. email: bouyer@masi.ibp.fr --
