Apropos of this subject: I compiled linux-2.1.80 with egcs-1.0.1 (with glibc-2). The kernel worked OK but not X. [The screen turned into an array of vertical lines.] I installed the latest XFree86 but that didn't cure the problem. [It did change the graphical effect.]
As far as I could see there was nothing relevant in xdm-errors.log .
I haven't had this problem with previous versions of the kernel, compiled with gcc-2.7.3 .
Sorry I can't be more precise, as the computer (monitor) coincidentally died, at the exact moment I said "make" to egcs.
I wonder if anyone has experienced the same thing, or could suggest an appropriate remedy?
