- You can use gcc 2.2.2d7 as the native cc. You do
-
- 1. apply the patches.
- 2. do
- configure i386-linux
- 3. compile it with gcc 2.2.2d7.
-
- No bootstraping is needed.

- You can get gcc 2.3.2, copy `config*' and `config/*linux*' to gcc 2.2.2.
- Hope that works.
-
- BTW, gcc 2.3.2 has a few bad bugs. I am waiting for the next release.
