Just today, (i don't know why) i decided to try to compile it with 2.8.1 and it seems to have worked. I edited the makefile in /usr/src/sys/compile/K6233 (my compile dir) and set CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc i also edited the makefile in the "aic7xxx" dir to also point to /usr/local/gcc then the usual: make clean && make depend && make -j24 all && make install rebooted and everything seems fine except my nerves (worrying about a panic of course.) :) anyhow this is on -current as of last night (built with the standard gcc of freebsd though 2.7.2.1 ) i think it's still using /usr/bin/ld though... anyhow i'm confused and wondering if anyone is interested in this. if not, sorry for the noise, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
