Hi,

I followed Bill Beebe's advice and tried compiling Linux kernel 2.4.18
with gcc version 3.1 20020308 (prerelease).

I followed these steps:

- download kernel-2.4.18-0.4.src.rpm from Red Hat Raw Hide
- make sure that gcc 3.1 20020308 (prerelease) is in my path
- rpm -i kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm
- cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
- edit the patch linux-2.4.17-gccchoice.patch, and replace the line:


+                 $(CONFIG_SHELL) scripts/kwhich gcc296 2>/dev/null || echo cc; fi)

with:

+                 $(CONFIG_SHELL) scripts/kwhich gcc 2>/dev/null || echo cc; fi)

- rpm -bb kernel-2.4.spec


I was successfully able to build the Linux kernel, although I did not try
running it:
% strings vmlinux | grep gcc

Linux version 2.4.18-0.4 (root@loquat) (gcc version 3.1 20020308 (prerelease)) #1 Sun \
