Right now I'm using a natively gcc 4 compiled Haiku kernel, so generally that does work. If you build components of an installation in different build environments, care must be taken that those environments are configured the same way. E.g. a KDEBUG disabled kernel won't work in a an otherwise KDEBUG enabled system (or vice versa). The system would crash in the boot process. And the kernel would be somewhat smaller. Does that sounds familiar? ;-) CU, Ingo
