   I'm having a problem compiling RH 5.2 (2.0.36) with gcc 2.95.
Here's
the errors I'm getting:  (I've truncated the list, as there were a
whole
lot of them)

Here's what gcc -v reports:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95/specs
gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release)

   Any ideas what's happening here?  Thanks.

There was an issue regarding the 2.2.x kernels not being able to be
compiled under gcc 2.95. Perhaps this extends back to the 2.0.x kernels?

Cheers,

   I found some patches at suse.de that were supposed to fix a problem
with gcc 2.8.x and the 2.0.x kernel.  I applied that, but it didn't
help, and didn't seem to have touched any of the code involving this.
   Can you point me to a page about the 2.95 issue?  Thanks.
