Hi Ken, I was meant to ask you about this, to verify that the issue was really -march=native, because in that case it would be a compiler bug. Those days -march=native is almost assumed, as it is almost guarranteed that the results will be the same in that same machine, so it looked a bit strange to affect the instruction set. > > > But I've now rebooted and run startx (with fluxbox, elogind and > > > rxvt-unidoe) : the check tests FAIL.

I use urxvt since my gentoo days at 2004, and honestly i do not remember a single crash all those years, despite that i use the daemon/client functionality, which has a bit of risk, since if an instance/client crashes, all the other clients will crash too. Besides that, it is really run low in resources and was one of the first terminals that supported UTF-8. Granted I do not bind perl though these days. > -- Bruce Regards, ag -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
