Athlon TBird 1200MHz
linux-2.4.20
binutils 2.13.90.0.18 (happens with CVS head too)
>Description:
I found a bug in the code scheduler for Athlon and i686.
If compile glibc-2.3.1 (and even the current CVS head) and
optimize with "-march=i586 -mcpu=athlon" or
"-march=i586 -mcpu=i686" I get a broken
glibc or the compile fails at "sunrpc/xbootparam.T"
(segfault of a program that is started via the newly
compiled linker). This depends on the fact if I
cross-compile the glibc (between different x86 architectures or not. Broken means that some
binaries (especially those linked against libpthread)
segfault at termination. There are no problems if I compile
with "-march=i586 -mcpu=i586" or "-march=i686 -mcpu=i686".
BTW, I tried different -O levels (-O1 ... -O3). This had no
effect. Other combinations I haven't tested.

Additionally there is a problem when glibc is compiled without frame-pointers. I can reproduce this too. See here:
