egcs: kernel cannot be compiled after update to 6.0

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0

Symptom:

After an update to SuSE-Linux 6.0 the kernel (or some other programs) cannot be compiled anymore. You get a message like

/bin/sh: gcc: command not found

Cause:

Starting with version 6.0 SuSE-Linux is based on the new glibc instead of the classical libc5 C-library . Unfortunately the C-compiler gcc doesn't work with glibc, while the C-compiler egcs doesn't work with libc5. Since SuSE-Linux 6.0 is based on glibc, egcs gets installed by default. Unfortunately the kernel can only be compiled with gcc.

Solution:

In order to compile the kernel, you must install gcc. Except for the frontend gccfront this compiler can be installed parallel to egcs. If you want to use egcs, please uninstall the package gccfront first (and vice versa).
