Hi folks
I recompiled my kernel with GCC 3.0.1 (was 2.95.x) and guess what - it got bigger... Somehow, I hoped in linux world software gets better with time, not worse...
Maybe that's my fault (misconfigured GCC etc) ? What do you see?
Being curious, I looked into vmlinux (uncompressed kernel). I saw swatches of zero bytes in places, large repeateable patterns etc. You may look there too in your spare time.
Especially informative are two pages (my console:100x40) filled with "GCC: (GNU) 3.0.1". Does this gets into unswappable memory when kernel loads? -- Best regards, VDA mailto:VDA@port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua
