I forgot to mention that I am running Xorg, not XFree86-4: xorg-clients-6.7.0_3 X client programs and related files from X.Org xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.7.0 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-encodings-6.7.0 X.Org font encoding files xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.7.0 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-truetype-6.7.0 X.Org TrueType fonts xorg-fonts-type1-6.7.0 X.Org Type1 fonts xorg-libraries-6.7.0_1 X11 libraries and headers from X.Org xorg-server-6.7.0_5 X.Org X server and related programs So, I don't think it is necessarily the GCC 3.4.2+Xorg combination to blame. FWIW, my kernel is built with #undef PREEMPTION.
