For the record, the -Wno-override-init problem has already been fixed in 4.9-rc3 by commit a2209b742e6 ("x86/build: Fix build with older GCC versions").

Debian Woody is pre-gcc3.2 and Sarge ships 3.3 gcc. I tried to compile v4.8.6 on Sarge failed due to binutils: |arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S: Assembler messages: |arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S:379: Error: invalid character '"' in operand 1 |arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S:454: Error: too many positional arguments |arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S:580: Error: too many positional arguments |arch/x86/boot/bioscall.S:68: Error: `68(%esp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression among other errors. Sarge comes with GNU ld version 2.15 with is not recent enough. I don't see those errors on Etch which ships version 2.17 and therefore I raise the limit to 2.17. gcc is a different story. 3.3 It throws a lot of warnings |include/linux/irq.h:402: warning: parameter has incomplete type |include/linux/irq.h:403: warning: parameter has incomplete type |drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.h:312: warning: parameter has incomplete type during the compile and fails then with | cc1: error: unrecognized option `-Wno-override-init' or later with |lib/lzo/lzo1x_compress.c: In function `lzo1x_1_do_compress': |lib/lzo/lzo1x_compress.c:132: error: implicit declaration of function `__builtin_ctz' Etch (with gcc v4.1.2) gets to compile the kernel without plenty of warnings and it also chokes on Wno-override-init but that one could be easily fixed if we want to keep v4.1 as the minimum. So I think raising the bar to gcc v4.1 isn't that bad given that the last release of gcc 4.1 was on February 13, 2007.
