Complaints about this bug/feature litter bugzilla.redhat.com
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18961 or a good
example...and no two comments explain it in the same way. (I figured
that someone would simply start pasting the same thing everytime
someone didn't bother to search for similar bug reports...anyway)
1) The standard Makefile can easily be edited to use kgcc. My
/usr/src/linux/Makefile right now contains the line :
CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)cc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
Since I'm not cross compiling, CROSS_COMPILE has no value. Just
change that single "cc", to "kgcc" and you're done for the whole
tree. cc and gcc are likely the same binary somehow...hard or
symbolic links.
2) Your debian system doesn't need a kgcc, since the gcc there was
always able to compile the kernel.
