Re: [PLUG] Kernel 2.4 under RH7

[LeRoy Cressy <ldc@netaxs.com>]

If you are doing kernel compiles under redhat why not make a symlink in
/usr/local/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/kgcc ?  This way you won't have to edit
all the references to gcc in the top level make file, and there are sub
make files that also would have to be found and edited for their
references to gcc in the kernel source tree.  

I would also remove the RH version of gcc and attempt to find a rpm for 
	gcc_2.95.3 version.

The more I hear about RH the more thankful that i listened to Chris 5-6
years ago and put Debian on my system
