When 4.2.1 is imported, some of the known problems =20 in gcc are fixed, but not all. The IP checksum code in FreeBSD is =20 affected by the new gcc (IIRC when compiled without optimization... =20 it's probably the same bug in the checksum code which showed up when I =20 compiled the kernel with icc 3 years ago). One of our SoC students =20 knows how to fix it, but I don't know if one of our network guys is =20 taking care about the problem.
