Several people, myself included, posted here saying that nothing they
compiled would run. The compile would work o.k., but when they execute
the program, it seg. faults with something like this:
general protection: 0000
EIP: 000f:00000114
EFLAGS: 00010202
ESP: 0017:03BFFBDC
fs: 0010
base: 2C000000, limit: 04000000
Stack: 000043D0 00000000 00000009 00007108
Pid: ..., process nr: 11
6f 9c 71 46 19 64 04 57 65 9d
Well, today I installed gcc 2.11c and now everything I compile works
fine. But I still don't know why it didn't work before. Could there be
an incompatibility between the 0.96 kernel and the old gcc 2.1?
BTW, kudos to Linus and everyone else who has worked on Linux.
