Hi Amirali,

perhaps for 2.6.18* gcc-3.4* is used

but with 2.6.37 you could use the included gcc-4.4.3 (in Ubuntu 10.04)
and gcc-4.4.4
(according to http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu)

that worked fine for me in the past.

I don't know if you have full access to it but:

help.ubuntu.com - which is a sort of wiki for Ubuntu can be very
helpful in those things :)


https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

might help


If a pre-built vanilla-kernel is alright for you, you can also use the
ones provided by Ubuntu:

I hope that's what you're looking for


Regards

Matt
