Sorry, but the compiler bug has been present in the port version of GCC-3.1 as well, a few weeks ago, and existed in the version to become GCC-3.1.1 ... I opened a PR at gcc.org, didn't get any feedback, yet. > Why mess around with a buggy compiler if a working one is around ? Only a single source file triggers the optimizer bug, and the work-around should be appropriate until the compiler is fixed, IMHO. > Why don't we update the pre 3.1 gcc in CURRENT to a working one ? I'm sure that there is a lot of work being done to keep up with the latest gcc versions. It just isn't that simple to upgrade such a crucial build tool (if compiling a new gcc fails, then make world doesn't have much of a chance of succeeding ...) > Yes, I turned on -O and O2 again ;-) Did the GCC-3.1 from ports compile translate.c with optimization turned on ??? It didn't, just one or two weeks ago. Regards, STefan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
