Been there, done that. A small quote from my original mail:

This are the things that I have tried:

1.Before compilation I did:
#CC=gcc296
#export CC
#CXX=g++296
#export CXX
Then I followed the normal kernel compilation procedure but this did not 
helped.

2.I've tried passing CC=gcc296 to make, like “make CC=gcc296 bzImage” 
instead of “make bzImage”. No luck.

3.This one is inspired from an Oracle Application Server installation on 
Fedora Core 1. Basically I have renamed gcc and g++ to gcc332 and g++332 
and made symbolic links to gcc296 and g++296
#mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc332
#mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++332
#ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
#ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
Then a normal kernel compilation. But this does not help either.


Ideas anyone?
