Re: Prerelease of GCC-3.3.5 available for testing

I realize it is a bit late for this. If it is too late for gcc-3.3.5 that is OK. I can re-propose this for gcc-3.3.6.


I have a patch to fix an IA-64 linux kernel miscompilation problem. This is PR 17455. I've added the patch to the gcc-3.4 branch and mainline already. This isn't a regression, but it is fairly serious as it is a linux kernel miscompile. The problem can be worked around by compiling the kernel with -fno-optimize-sibcalls. The patch is pretty safe, as it only affects kernel functions with the syscall_linkage attribute, and all it does is disable sibcall optimizations for those functions.

I haven't yet tested the patch with gcc-3.3.x. I am starting that testing now.
