The following reply was made to PR i386/30637; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Dimitry Andric <dim@xs4all.nl> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: i386/30637: MAKEDEV 1.243.2.36 errors in i4bteld* node creation Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 22:37:12 +0200 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After reading some comments that this error could be due to CPU-specific optimizations, via /etc/make.conf's CPUTYPE= setting, I tried rebuilding the world on the problematic box, and that solved the problem. I guess this is the proper solution, certainly after reading the comments about CPUTYPE in make.conf, and this PR can therefore be closed. However, it's still strange that /bin/sh exhibits this bug when using CPU-specific optimizations, and only for this specific script (but of course there could be more problems waiting to be ran into). Even stranger is the "fix" that I submitted in this PR, which seems to work for me and some other people. Is an optimization problem such as this worth the trouble of finding out why it fails (quite tricky, I guess)?
