In-Reply-To: <200003220628.BAA97796@account.abs.net> References: <200003220628.BAA97796@account.abs.net> X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <14552.58589.119082.742615@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Get rid of -O2 in /etc/make.conf; comment out the CFLAGS line. You should NEVER, EVER build _anything_ with -O2 on an alpha. The compiler is very fragile and has been known to do odd things when compiling -O2. I'm starting to think that any optimizations other than -O should probably be disabled in the compiler to keep people from blowing their feet off like you've just done. I'd suggest re-loading the machine from the cd at this point, or building a world on another machine which has a good world & doing a make installworld via NFS mounts.
