Systemd has its problems, I agree. However, that said, before you take anyone - even Lennart - to task on such a comment, please consider objectively that it may not be a code problem, but in fact a compiler problem. I'm am not familiar with the specifics of the situation, but I felt compelled to mention that GCC has a long history of processor specific problems, which I have experienced firsthand. The only truth that I can be certain of from reading this is that GCC works best only on x86 processors, and that has not changed in nearly 2 decades. It is also true that a lot of opensource code, even the Linux kernel, presently only compiles properly on GCC, rather than others such as Clang/LLVM. > Onward no matter what.

In keeping with commonsense and not hysteria, I hope they do fix things with eventually, but the truth is that compilers - regardless of language - can be finicky beasts from one processor family to the next.
