Re: linux-2.3.3 doesn't boot when compiled with egcs-2.93.22

The problem is that the Kernel makefile currently has no way to
detect the compiler version used (kernel has no configure). Passing
-fno-strict-alias to a gcc 2.7.2 wouldn't be a good idea. So to
implement it you need a mini configure or a similar trick.
Andi, please have a stare at arch/sparc{,64}/Makefile, we already know how
to do such things like detect EGCS vs. GCC just fine.
