Changes since the previously announced version of the patch kit
<http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114149697417107&w=2>:

- Merged the fixes for gcc-4.1 into the baseline patch kit for gcc-4.0.
- I previously reported that gcc-4.1.0 built ppc32 kernels that oopsed
in shrink_dcache_parent(). gcc-4.1.1 fixed this issue.
- The architectures known to work in kernel 2.4.33-rc1 + this patch kit
with gcc-4.1.1 and gcc-4.0.3 are i386, x86-64, and ppc32.

Thanks for still maintaining this patchset. I sometimes have coworkers
complain that they cannot build 2.4 anymore because they have let their
distro automatically upgarde gcc to 4.x. I will be able to point your

Which distribution does both support kernel 2.4 and no longer ship a
compiler capable of compiling kernel 2.4?

site to them. I was also thinking about updating my page on "linux
kernel useful patches" with this last update, but noticed you still have
