Hi Peter,
I was not able to figure out how the two versions of the same kernel compiled by gcc-4.2.0 and gcc-4.2.4 differed. Currently, I'm sticking with gcc-4.2.4 as it boots much farther.
There still is a problem where if I bump THREAD_ORDER, the problem goes away and everything so far that I've tested boots up fine.
We tried to install a later gcc (4.3.1) that might have the "GCC_HAS_SP" flag but our sys admin reported:
The 4.3.1 version gives me errors on the make. I had to pre-install gmp and mpfr, but, I still get errors on the make.
I think that was the latest he found on the GNU/GCC site.
Thanks, Mike
