If alsa is compiled with gcc-3.3.1 instead of gcc-2.95.3 the machine locks

[aireland@…]

I have found that if I am compiling kernel modules I need to use the same compiler as was used for the kernel.

If I compile alsa-drivers with gcc-3.3.1 then the kernel crashes.

If I compile alsa-drivers (redid -utils -oss etc) too by first setting the compiler to export CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc

Then there is no problem.

The instructions in the book use gcc-2.95.3 to compile alsa. See <​http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/multimedia/alsa-driver.html>.
