I misread what you meant with the word "from". But my point is still that this is not a regression in the kernel but a problem when using gcc 4.2 on powerpc (no matter whether the kernel or gcc is wrong in this case). Or am I wrong here and you are able to compile older powerpc kernels with the same gcc and .config? > Kamalesh Babulal, cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days. "Only a promise," Lao Er said. Pearl S.
