I've got debian potato installed on a RiscPC, with gcc 2.95.2-13. Is this version known to have problems? as best I can tell it can't compile a working 2.2.16 kernel, apt-get compiled at -02 SEGVs (-O1 works) (just like the .deb) Now I'm trying to compile development perl and it's made 1 version that passes tests but if I change the options a bit they start to segv. I noticed this when using -O -g:
/tmp/ccprvVuj.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccprvVuj.s:13108: Warning: destination register same as write-back base which I take is a bad thing? [in that gcc is failing to allocate 2 different registers] Am I right in thinking that gcc 2.95.2-13 is dodgy? If so, which version would I be advised to use? Nicholas Clark
