Very Computer

The following patch allowed me to compile kernel 1.2.13 with the
new gcc-2.7.2 et. al.  It is stolen from Leonard N. Zubkoff, who
very kindly posted it a few days ago to the LinuxNet gcc mailing-
list (archived at http://homer.ncm.com/).  I compiled with H.J.'s
ELF patches too, but I assume it will also work if you are compiling
without them.

Cheers,

Is this patch necessary for gcc 2.7.0?  (or...My kernel, 1.2.13 and 1.3.45 are
compiled with gcc 2.7.0.  Do I need the patch if I upgrade gcc?)

Thanks,
