Upgrade to gcc4.1.1 went alright here with Duncan's suggested flags, |
2 |
only two packages failed: |
3 |
|
4 |
- libquicktime, due to syntax error in "configure" in a line related to |
5 |
vorbis, I have worked around it by removing the line but not had time |
6 |
yet to file a proper bug. I had this problem also with gcc3.4.6 so I'm |
7 |
sure it's not related to gcc optimizations. |
8 |
|
9 |
- seamonkey, due to syntax error in a source file. This is quite |
10 |
peculiar since I had already compiled the sources with gcc3.4.6 without |
11 |
problems. I did not investigate much because I wanted to remove the |
12 |
package anyway and use only Gnome native applications (that was before I |
13 |
discovered 'native' applications require seamonkey or mozilla or firefox...) |
14 |
|
15 |
I am running amd64 (on an Athlon64 3000+) with very few ~amd64 packages. |
16 |
First impression confirm Duncan's enthusiastic reports. |
17 |
|
18 |
But, for the first time in my linux life I had a kernel oops ("unable to |
19 |
allocate memory page" or something like that) running |
20 |
mplayer/mplayer-bin/totem with kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 compiled with |
21 |
gcc4.1.1 Problem disappeared after I rebooted into 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 |
22 |
compiled with gcc3.4.6, and did not appear again when I rebooted again |
23 |
into 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 compiled with gcc4.1.1, so I need more testing. |
24 |

25 |
Thanks to all for the great discussion on compiler optimizations. |
