>From what doko says indeed on non-Ubuntu (and thus non Linaro) gcc 4.5 does not generate the more optimal code.
In general I was confused by the fact that this is not natty specific. I was thinking lucid/maverick etc have their own packaging branches and the natty package does not carry legacy stuff. In either case the missing dmb instruction makes this not SMP safe. I think the asm patches were originally written before there were SMP ARM boards available making it a non-issue back then. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726529 Title: use arm assembly bits only for gcc < 4.6 on ARM > 6 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
