I ran Cyrix chips for a while and never had problems building world. The machines were rock solid in all I ever did include world and kernel building. This was under FreeBSD 2.2.x so maybe GCC has "evolved" since then. Now I run Intel chips so wouldn't know about later versions. Chad --On Sunday, February 18, 2001 1:52 PM -0500 "Paul A.
