Sorry to interrupt, but unless you take a careful look you just can't know if gcc or the kernel is/are to blame. In this case, there are indications that (again!) it is the kernel code making unwarranted assumptions about gcc's optimizations.
In any case, it has to be checked: Someday the current unstable gcc _will_ be the released version. Then what? Tell people to use the old, severely broken 2.7.2.3 again? -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Vin~a del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
