The end of gcc 2.95 supportThe end of gcc 2.95 supportPosted Dec 15, 2005 18:00 UTC (Thu) by pj (subscriber, #4506)Parent article: The end of gcc 2.95 support
Would this change affect all architectures, or just x86? does 3.2 support all the architectures 2.95 does/did? Embedded linux devs would be quite unhappy to have their standard toolset suddenly stop working...

That's why it's discussed today and not two years ago...
The end of gcc 2.95 support Posted Jan 10, 2006 23:46 UTC (Tue) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Many non-x86 architectures needed later GCC versions anyway, and others benefited greatly from them (e.g. SPARC64 can be compiled either with an ancient and crocked-up 1998-vintage egcs hack, or with GCC 3.2+; performance with the latter is detectably higher in my admittedly unscientific benchmarks, and with -Os --- not supported in the ancient egcs --- the kernel's much smaller too).
