- I think I am partially responsible for this mess. I noticed it when
- 0.97 was out. I did the best I could and send a patch to Linus, which
- became the part of 0.97 patch 1. Unfortunately, you really need
- gcc 2.2.2d to totally solve the problem. Everytime when I tried
- to release gcc 2.2.2d to public, I either got some bug reports or
- requests. So it delayed that long. I hope I can finally get it out
- this Sunday.
-
- Here is something very important.
-
- YOU HAVE TO HAVE VIRGIN HEADER FILES FROM KERNEL SOURCE OF 0.97 PATCH 1 ON
- LINE TO INSTALL GCC 2.2.2d.
