compiling systemtap with gcc 3.2.3-47 fails

[Michael Obster <michael at obster dot org>]

Hi,

when I'm compiling systemtap I always get this error with the  
gcc-3.2.3-47 (Red Hat):
if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.   
-DBINDIR='"/user/dems9165/systemtap-root/bin"'  
-DPKGDATADIR='"/user/dems9165/systemtap-root/share/systemtap"'  
-DPKGLIBDIR='"/user/dems9165/systemtap-root/libexec/systemtap"'  
-Iinclude-elfutils  -Werror -Wall -g -O2 -MT stap-tapsets.o -MD -MP  
-MF ".deps/stap-tapsets.Tpo" -c -o stap-tapsets.o `test -f  
'tapsets.cxx' || echo './'`tapsets.cxx; \
then mv -f ".deps/stap-tapsets.Tpo" ".deps/stap-tapsets.Po"; else rm  
-f ".deps/stap-tapsets.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/user/dems9165/systemtap/src'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

The problem is that the kernel is compiled with this gcc version and  
updating gcc is impossible. Do I need the same gcc version as for  
kernel compile here already? Or is this only necessary later when  
systemtap generates the kernel-module?

Cheers,
Michael
