Adding -mpentiumpro may avoid the bug. I don't really care which combination of compiler, compiler version, compilation options, preprocessor directives, source code and OS headers work or don't work. The bottomline is that it's a compiler bug and it should be discussed on one of their lists. Preferrably resulting in a PR (filed against gcc of course) so that they can fix it. The only exception to the above is when the optimization level changes the behaviour of gcc in such a way that it triggers a FreeBSD bug. Odds are against it, but we cannot rule this out. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
