[$] Old compilers and old bugs
lundi 11 janvier 2021, 22:15 , par LWN.net
The kernel project goes out of its way to facilitate building with older
toolchains. Building a kernel on a new system can be enough of a challenge as it is; being forced to install a custom toolchain first would not improve the situation. So the kernel developers try to keep it possible to build the kernel with the toolchains shipped by most distributors. There are costs to this policy though, including an inability to use newer compiler features. But, as was seen in a recent episode, building with old compilers can subject developers to old compiler bugs too.
