Subject:   Compiling FreeBSD 4.10 kernel with gcc native and gcc-3.4.3

Dear FreeBSD people,
I had problems in my ATHLON-XP with 5.3 Release.
While compiling the kernel to use NVIDIA drivers
I opened emacs and everything freezed 2 times!
The third time I didn't touch emacs so the kernel
compilation finished without everything to freeze!
Thus I decided to install FreeBSD 4.10!


Everything was working fine! I then recompiled the kernel
such that I can use the nvidia drivers. Here is my config

---------------------------------------------------------
The result was that after succesful compilation I got 
a kernel panic when trying to boot so I couldn't boot at all!
Thus I changed the config a little bit uncommenting some stuff.
Here is the new config.

I compiled both with '-O' and '-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer'. The 
kernel boots fine! Then I decided to try to compile that kernel
with gcc-3.4.3 as well. The first problem was that I got an
***unknown option -fformat-exceptions trying to do make depend.***
Greping everywhere I found that this was declared in some 
/usr/share/mk/bsd.kern.mk in CWARNFLAGS variable. I removed it and 
recompiled. Then I got a lot of error messages which were corrected
either by changing in each (switch) statement labels like:

somelabel:
}

to

somelabel:
{}
}

or by replacing in CWARNFLAGS -ansi to -std=gnu99

After that The code compiled nicely but I got warnings about
conflicting builtin types. I added 
makeoptions     CONF_CFLAGS=-fno-builtin
in my config but that didn't solve the problem and I 
had to add this explicitly in /usr/share/mk/bsd.kern.mk.
After that those warnings dissapeared and I got the following:


.........

ry=2  ../../kern/uipc_usrreq.c
gcc-3.4.3 -c -O -pipe  -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs
-Wstrict-prototypes  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual 
-std=gnu99 -fno-builtin  -nostdinc -I- -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include
-I../../contrib/dev/acpica -I../../contrib/ipfilter  -D_KERNEL -include
opt_global.h  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  ../../kern/vfs_bio.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:5209: Error: bad register name `%sil'

which I couldn't solve unless I changed explicitly the compilation of this
one to 

gcc -c -O -pipe  -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual  -std=gnu99
-fno-builtin  -nostdinc -I- -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include
-I../../contrib/dev/acpica -I../../contrib/ipfilter  -D_KERNEL -include
opt_global.h  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  ../../kern/vfs_bio.c

using the native compiler! Then everything went on nicely until the

linking :

-Wstrict-prototypes  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual

So I cannot link!

Any suggestions?

1:) How can I fix this?
2:) Why FreBSD 4.10 is using such an old compiler?
3:) Has anybody tested FreeBSD 4.10 with gcc-3.4.X?

Best Wishes!
D.K.
