Re: [gentoo-user] X was crash at login window (gdm)
believe or not, I have double checked the /etc/ini.d , there is no service script udev-postmount since Udev-180. I downgrade to Udev-171-r8 and all things goes well ,udev-postmount service has auto started at runlevel,I can enter the X now ,but has something wrong with Gnome3.4 .and It gets fallback mode maybe recompile packages that depend Udev can fix this .

For a few years, operating systems were indeed written in assembler. Then, c 1970, Unix was the first operating system written in a higher-level programming language, C. Likewise, I guess, the first compilers would be written in assembler, until one was written that could compile itself and become self-hosting. Thus new compilers and operating systems can now be written in higher-level languages (although C isn't very high-level) and compiled using an existing compiler. That Unix was written in C is what has lead to its ubiquity - until then every different brand of computer had its own operating system, usually written by the manufacturer. Written in assembly, these were non-portable. Writing the operating system in C allowed it to be ported to different hardware architectures, and programs could be written that would run on all the different systems out there (as long as those ran Unix). Linux was written on a Minix system, Minix was written c 1987 and so might have been written on one of the BSDs that was around then; the BSDs were probably written on an ATT Unix. When Intel produce a new chip - or gcc wants to support a new architecture - they rewrite the compiler (the backend part of it) to output machine code to suit the new chip's instruction set (which will be different from that of other chips - PPC vs ARM vs MIPS vs x86). The compiled code is then transferred to the new machine and fingers are crossed as everyone waits to see if it boots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Unix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler Stroller. One could ask the question where did the first assembler come from? Just as the first OSes and compilers were written in assembler to bootstrap C, so the first assemblers were written in hex codes to bootstrap the assembler. But hex code editors ran software, so where did the first hex code input gadget come from? And the answer to that is that it was written in binary. Yes that's right - a panel with 16 toggle switches and a few pushbuttons. Those didn't require software as everything was implemented in hardware.

Yes, You have to use the bootstrap compiler to build GCC, even before you build a kernel or glibc. It's long-winded and fairly technically demanding. I recall building a few systems in the early days of gentoo. The funny thing is that other than burning and booting Knoppix a couple of times I had no Linux knowledge or experience. However, the gentoo handbook held my hand step by step and all these years later I'm still here.
