| 24 | <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its
|
---|
| 25 | default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options).
|
---|
| 26 | Therefore, if you have defined any environment variables that override
|
---|
| 27 | default optimizations, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend unsetting
|
---|
| 28 | or modifying them when building GCC.</para>

| 30 | <para>This is an older release of GCC which we are going to install for the
|
---|
| 31 | purpose of compiling the Linux kernel in <xref linkend="chapter08"/>. This
|
---|
| 32 | version is recommended
|
---|
| 33 | by the kernel developers when you need absolute stability. Later versions of
|
---|
| 34 | GCC have not received as much testing for Linux kernel compilation. Using a
|
---|
| 35 | later version is likely to work, however, we recommend adhering to the kernel
|
---|
| 36 | developer's advice and using the version here to compile your kernel.</para>

|

| 38 | <note><para>We don't install the C++ compiler or libraries here. However, there
