When Is It a Good Idea To Use the Red Hat 7.0 <literal>kgcc</literal> Compiler?
</title>
<para>
Red Hat Linux 7.0 ships with two compilers, GCC 2.96, and KGCC, a.k.a,
EGCS 1.1.2, a.k.a GCC 2.91.66. Confusing? You bet it is. It's
probably better to use one of the standard GCC releases. The Free
Software Foundation says that GCC 2.96, contains extensions that
produce object code which is not compatible with previous versions of
GCC, in addition to the normal bugs found in development software.
The FSF changed the version number of their current development
compiler to 2.97 to distinguish them. The FSF's statement is at
<ulink url="http://www.fsf.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html">

</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
You can determine the compiler version numbers by typing ``<literal>gcc
--version</literal>'' and ``<literal>kgcc --version</literal>.'' The
latest stable GCC release is 2.95.2.
</para>
<para>
Any recent, officially released GNU C compiler from versions 2.7.2
onward should compile the generic kernel source code, unless it's the
Version 2.4 kernel, in which case you'll need GCC 2.91.66 (EGCS
1.1.2). Don't expect any support from the kernel developers if you're
using an earlier compiler.

Does that clarify everything?

You can download source code distributions from one of the
<literal>kernel.org</literal> mirror sites. (Refer to: ``<xref
linkend="where-can-i-get-the-latest-kernel-version"
endterm="where-can-i-get-the-latest-kernel-version">,'' below.) The
kernel source code included with Red Hat 7.0 is kernel version 2.2.16,
and is archived generically as
<filename>linux-2.2.16.tar.gz</filename>.
