In-Reply-To: References: X-Mailer: VM 6.34 under 19.16 "Lille" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Do not use egcs to compile the kernel or any kernel module for any other release but the 4.0-CURRENT tree. It will not work. It may appear to work, but will eventually fail. Getting it to work correctly in the 4.0-CURRENT tree was a nontrivial exercise. OTOH, I use egcs from the port to compile most third party software. (My path puts /usr/local/bin/{gcc,...} before any of the system-furnished compilers).
