fair enough. in my defense, i was aware that, as i said, stuff that
used to build with gcc-3.x.x doesn't necessarily build with gcc-4 so i
wanted to check quickly if anyone would pipe up and say, "yeah, that
happened to us, too."

oh, i understand that, too. i just want to tackle the problems one at
a time. i know from experience that some kernels had questionable
constructs in them that the newer compilers would choke on.

granted. but, for future reference, telling me to take advice from
eric raymond is probably an unhealthy thing to do at the best of
times. :-)
