Dear Developer,

it was in 1991, when I used gcc for the first time on a Unix system. As 
to err is human, one always has to account one or another bug. At the 
moment, I am in a situation where I either
- have to downgrade to the gcc version my kernel was compiled with (but 
version 2.95.4 is not in your archive!)
- have to recompile my kernel using the currently installed 3.3.2 
version of gcc.

As some of the errors should not occur at all, I assume there is a bug 
in the preprocessor. The sources of the kernel 2.4-22 are ubiquious, 
all other details are given on this wiki page I made:

Sorry for intervening ;)
thanx
