Yes. I don't know if the cause is specific to ppc, but the bug as filed has only failed the test suite on ppc. > also i have been experiencing gtk1.2/Xserver crashes with the > color_selection widget, i thought this was related to me running X on top of > planar amifb, but could it also be a egcs bug ? Possible.. I only saw it in clist/ctree widgets though (and tests that use those widgets, including file selection or font selection). I wouldn't be suspicious of egcs unless the function in which the crash occurred has at least 8 arguments being passed in and was compiled -fPIC (the server itself shouldn't be, but the X libraries would). > i will post a bug report with strace and other stuff a bit later ... If you get a crash, build with -g, run under the debugger, you should see it crash with a null dereference at the assembly level that doesn't correspond to what's happening at the C level. The crash ought to occur in either gtkclist.c or gtkctree.c . There is a register reserved for doing the -fPIC relocation that is clobbered too early and causes the last argument to get loaded from a random location. I very much hope egcs has been fixed, since this is an annoying bug, but I checked the automated test suite page today (somewhere off of http://egcs.cygnus.com) and it was still broken in last week's snapshot. cheers, -Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED]
