gcc inserts calls to mcount() at the start and end of functions if profiling (-p) is enabled. Normally mcount() is supposed to record the time and the return address. But you can also use mcount() to check that the stack has not overflowed, which is what CONFIG_STACK_DEBUG is doing with it. Basically you seem to be building a debug build. -- -- Nicolas Dade http://nsd.dyndns.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
