[ale] gcc question

[Courtney Thomas]

I want to compile a kernel older than my current one and am anticipating
that the latest compiler will cause problems.

How can I select which compiler is to be used by a given Makefile  ?

The reason I am going down this road is that I'm getting asm
re:checksum.h errors using the latest.

See attachment for output.

Thank you,
Courtney
