Just to make sure it wasn't a gcc thing, I've recompiled the original setup with egcs-1.1.2 (previously had used 2.95.2) and that did not fix a thing.
Next backed out the entire XMM and FXSR related stuff and now everything is fine again. The CPU in question is an AMD Thunderbird (see cpuinfo below). A friend with a similar setup but a Pentium-3 CPU doesn't seem to see the problem (couldn't verify myself).
/proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 4 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) Processor stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 807.211 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 1608.90
Who wrote that new FXSR stuff? Maybe they have an idea of what's going on.
