Did Alan Cox ever say what these bugs are?

I haven't tried in a while, but in my experience, the 2.2 Linux kernel
always crashed when compiled with gcc 2.95 (it would not
boot). However, I'm not sure whose fault that is.

Yes, it should be.

Do you mean: Is the World coming to an End? I don't know :-)
I really don't understand this question.
