Correct. It should additionally be noted, that this is not a bug in neither XFree86 nor the compiler. It is the result of a new compiler feature that XFree86 hasn't been taught yet to handle, but will be in the future. Disabling the new string merging optimization, makes the XFree86 module loader happy again. -fno-merge-constants disables it. If anyone has trouble, I'm glad to try and help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
