Thanks, that's very helpful. Looking at the source code (thanks, Adrian!) for sysvinit-3.06-2, I see "-fstack-protector-strong" in the "override CFLAGS" line of src/Makefile. Removing that and running make at the top level, everything compiled. I copied src/init to the IIfx as /sbin/init, but there were still stack smashing errors, so I tried again, also removing optimization (deleted "-O2" from CFLAGS in src/Makefile) -- no change. I noticed that /sbin/init seems to ignore SIGABRT, so I thought that might mean that init itself was somehow triggering the stack smashing but nothing was really aborting, but I could be wrong about that. I'll revert back to the original 3.06-2 /sbin/init and look at the versions in snapshot.debian.org and attempt a bisect. -Stan
