Re: Don't use gcc 4.2 to build latest kernel from SVN.

Hi all!

I think, this should be reported to handhelds kernel maintainers.
But the experiment was not clean -- we are using toolchain, built by someone
else. We don't know, how did they build it.
Later I'll try to build my own toolchain and test this issue.
