I am forced to agree about the fact that optimisation is traditionally buggy :) I tried to optimize my system with -O3 and -pipe. So I build myself a new kernel and a new world, I booted the kernel (I forgot to install the world)... It booted, windowmaker came up, I executed a linux-compatible binary (elf) and my system ended up with a boot. Thank god I didn't do a installworld :) Right now I'm recompiling everything using only -O and -pipe. Maybe its the linux-libs that had to be recompiled, but I don't have the time to sort this out because this machine has to be kind online without the fear of too much downtime. (I know .. -current .. living on the edge) :) I'll try to sort it out this weekend. -Steve -- Stephan van Beerschoten Email: stephanb@luna.nl Network Engineer Luna Internet Services www.luna.nl PO Box 28013 3003 KA Rotterdam NL PGPKey fingerprint = 45 57 97 61 B2 12 FB 4C 77 8D 35 29 C4 2A 2D 27 "RETURN VALUES: The panic() function call does not return" :P To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
