Thanks. That's what I was looking for. |

I /did/ see some rather "interesting" warnings, compiling perl (rev-dep |
| 18 |
rebuild as suggested after a different update), in its test phase. |
| 19 |
Something about missing symbols for a couple of the tests. However, |
| 20 |
anybody that's running amd64 and actually watches the compiler output |
| 21 |
should be used to various rather fearsome looking warnings scrolling by, |
| 22 |
by now, and unless I have problems with the resulting binary or those |
| 23 |
warnings turn to errors, I've learned to ignore most of them. Nothing |
| 24 |
unusual with the latest 2.6.8-rc2 kernel.org kernel, however. <shrug> |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And, as I said, my system is more stable now than it has ever been, so I'm |
| 27 |
not wanting to unnecessarily rock the boat! <g> (I've alway been less |
| 28 |
stable that I expected, but part of it was memory timing issues, combined |
| 29 |
with SMP and the still relatively new AMD64 arch. Changed a BIOS setting |
| 30 |
and haven't crashed yet, with the 2.6.8-rc2 kernel, tho I was still |
| 31 |
experiencing occasional crashes on 2.7.0, both compiled with the in |
| 32 |
question binutils. Hopin' to KEEP it uncrashed!) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
(BTW, /thought/ I posted that to amd64, not devel, but oh, well.. <g>) |
