should avoid?

It should work for any target with mmap I think. However, it is fairly new, so it may still have some portability problems.

The default is for gcc to not dump core when it ICEs. Core files just confuse average users. We only generate a core file if we have an unhandled signal that causes a core dump. To debug the problem, you need to run cc1 (or cc1plus or whatever) under gdb, and put a breakpoint on fancy_abort. The gcc .gdbinit file will do this for you automatically if you run gdb in the build tree. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
