Comment:
Nobody among developers has both the needed hardware and skills to
diagnose the bug. My own impression is that this bug is caused by broken
optimization for size in gcc-3.x in some kernel code that applies to some
ancient motherboard. However:
* my request to rebuild the CD without -Os flag is still unanswered
* the 6.1.1 book contains a root hole (LFS ticket 1831, wontfix) and thus
should not be used
* this bug was never present on 6.2-preX CDs
Thus, I am closing this as wontfix and recommend everyone who sees this
bug to use the 6.2-pre5 CD (or 6.2-1 when this comes out).
