OpenBSD has my other patch committed for quite some time now. The patch fixes sjlj problems but does not deal with insane memory consumption in flow optimization - that is why I ported gcc-devel branch changes back to GCC 2.95.x and recommend everyone to use the new patch instead.

Something was going wrong when GCC was trying to run instruction scheduling pass on PA/RISC AFAIK. Berndt never really posted details about the problem though and I didn't ask because I couldn't help him anyway. > Nor why they couldn't add conditional code to do the > old way on hpux, and fixed sjlj exceptions everywhere else.

Um, my wild guess will be because they do not care as long as bug does not affect Linux. Furthermore, they seem to care about HP/UX more than about all BSDs of the universe together - hardly the news you didn't know already :) > > -- > -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) > GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Alexander N.
