No, that's the _minimum_ gcc version. Not the "recommended" version. |

Almost all kernel developers use gcc 3.something to build kernels these |
| 13 |
days, and most other distros ship kernels build with gcc 3.something. |

So there is no reason you _have_ to stay with a 2.95.3 version of gcc |
| 15 |
just to build a kernel. |
