Hi, well, given I never experienced an issue, and I use T2 quite heavily on server and desktops, I have the feeling this only affects i486 and/or the latest version of gcc.
Maybe we should better get the bug really unccovered and fixed instead of hiding it by disabling optimizations for everyone and thus potentially making some desktop apps on latest greater AMD high end workstations CPUs notable slower (for some gimp or firefox use case), … I actually thought my “a little more than a 586” Transmeta Crusoe is aging ;-) but nice to see people are still using 486 class CPUs. I know the Vortex86 - I considered getting a sample or two, e.g. the http://www.86duino.com/?page_id=11 but did not yet got one yet. I suggest working with the gcc/glib guys to figure out what the real cause of the issue is. Maybe you end up getting a gcc ChangeLog entry while doing so :-) Maybe you can find a minute or two to compile a hardware page to list your vortex86 board, somewhere here may be suitable: http://t2-project.org/hardware/embedded/ If you just compile the info an a text email I can format the HTML around and upload it, … Greetings from Berlin, René On Nov 13, 2015, at 5:38, Toan Pham <[email protected]> wrote: > Rene...
