Well, there are many different opinions on that. Where I work, we use gcc 3.3.3, and it's perfectly stable for us. It seems 3.4.x is even a bit better, and gcc 4.1.x actually is quite good too, these days, although you may need to adapt some non-standard code for it. All in all, it's up to you which compiler you want to use. But building a very old gcc version with a very new gcc version is asking for trouble. The problem is that you're using Fedora Core 5, which comes with gcc 4.1 and nothing else. So you'll need to find some compatibility package that contains an old gcc (preferably 2.95), which makes sure you can build equally old gcc's with it. :) If the specific Linux distro does not matter to you, I'd advise you to install either Ubuntu or Debian, which have very easy to install packages for gcc 2.95, 3.3 and 3.4. You can then comfortably build your 2.95-based crosscompiler. > Yes,I am green in linux&embedded world.

I don't really like precompiled toolchains, since they almost never contain the features I want. :) So I build them myself, either with my handwritten little scripts, or more usually crosstool. But please be aware that crosstool won't fix your particular problem (building very old gcc's with very new ones) either. -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
