Binutils: 2.9.1.0.22b (19a until about a week or two ago) I'm actually way past taking my life in my own hands, in that the binutils, compiler, and kernel have all been built using egcs-1.1.2 with the following optimization flags: -march=pentiumpro -O6 -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-loops=0 -malign-functions=0 -malign-jumps=0 (yes, even the kernel at O6). And if the problem is related to Linux network code... well, this box is a firewall/router with two 3c905B interfaces pumping data at 100mbps full duplex, complex ipchains for filtering and TOS, etc... The box itself is a dual PII-450, 256MB SDRAM, on an ASUS P2B-D motherboard. It has a couple of 6GB IDE drives, the two aforementioned network cards, and a video card (which never gets used, the box is usually headless unless there's a problem). I haven't experienced any egcs-related kernel miscompiles in this setup, even when I expected to (like the first time I tried O6). I guess I might also add for completeness that I'm running the latest of Richard's devfs patches, the PIII/FXSR patch (as ammended on the list for the struct size and that typo'd bitshift), and the /proc/.config patch (modified a bit locally)... and I'm compiling with no modules support at all, if that makes any difference.
