21 Victory!

23 Here is how I compiled a Gentoo/FreeBSD kernel which does not produce
24 broken tcp packets:
25
26 1. I emerged =sys-devel/gcc-3*.
27 2. Used gcc-config to set gcc-3 as the system compiler
28 3. Edited the freebsd-sources ebuild to remove the gcc41 patch.
29 4. Emerged freebsd-sources
30 5. Compiled the kernel and rebooted to find I could make normal TCP
31 connections to anyone, anywhere.
32
33 So gcc-4.1 seems to be the culprit here. I will check FreeBSD's
34 archives to see if this has come up, but I wonder if they have moved
35 to gcc4 yet anyway. So, give what I posted above a try an let me know
36 how it worked for you.
