This *was* true at one time, RedHat 7.0 had the gcc/kgcc difference. RedHat 7.1 does behave in this way. The shipping gcc builds the kernel just fine thanks. Before you bash, keep up. It was a slight deficiency at one point, easily abated. Come on, how many times does one need to hear, "to build the kernel, use kgcc"? -- Jason Costomiris <>< | Technologist, geek, human. jcostom {at} jasons {dot} org | http://www.jasons.org/ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
