I spent more time poking around. I don't find anything obvious grepping in the kernel source code, neither 2.6.18 nor the 2.6.32.7. All I can find is in the gcc-4.4.3. There are pointers, all of which I've looked at, but I lack the skills, other than having to function in more than a dozen languages at times during my career and most are somewhat similar, to find any answers in the gcc code. The C code can be more cryptic than most, absent APL.
My host gcc is 3.3.4, for the stage 1, pass 1 compile--in case that's the problem? Since one of my "deviations" has been using package management, I _can_ pull gcc-pass1 and/or pass2 out of the Stage1 code, and carefully build it again. I'm not very hopeful about that. I suppose another thing I might try is see if gcc-4.4.2 might work? Since many of you have success with 4.4.3, that's got a marginal chance. Any known problems with that version? I suppose if that works I could use it for my stage 1 compiler? -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
