HiHo:

I know this is becoming a FAQ, so I will take replies to this and
shove them together and send it to Dave for inclusion in the FAQ:

What needs to be done to 386bsd0.1+pk2.4 to make the kernel compile
with GCC-2.4.5? 

Please answer very specificly.

Could patches be put in to the kit to make the kernel compile? If the
problem is in GCC, perhaps a patch could be made to make whatever
modifications are necessary, to be distributed outside of the
patchkit...

In a related question, when will GCC-2 be included as the regular
compiler?

I am assuming this will happen as part of a major release, and not as
a patchkit, since the sources for GCC-2.4.5 are HUGE!
