Date: 25 Aug 1996 04:21:18 GMT Organization: Netcom Lines: 11 Message-ID: <slrn51vlgv.28k.adj@celestra.adj.net> Reply-To: celestra@ix.netcom.com NNTP-Posting-Host: sea-wa9-12.ix.netcom.com X-NETCOM-Date: Sat Aug 24 9:21:18 PM PDT 1996 X-Newsreader: slrn (0.8.8.4 (BETA) UNIX) Hi, I've just started playing with FreeBSD 2.1.5, and I've noticed that it comes with GCC 2.6.3. Is it safe to upgrade GCC to 2.7.2.1? I've heard that at least with GCC 2.7.2 causes the kernel to be improperly rebuilt. Is this true with 2.7.2.1? Thanks. --Arthur
