It might take a while until 2.6 kernels can fully replace 2.4 (and 2.2!)
kernels on m68k. Half of our buildds can not be installed with a 2.6 kernel
at the moment. But people are working on it.
Until then we need 2.4 on m68k, however I just (cross-)compiled 2.4.27 with
gcc-3.3 with no problems. Since the 2.6 kernels are already built with
gcc-3.3, 2.4 might actually work with gcc-3.3 also, I will give it a try and
let you know.
