Dear powerpc and gcc developers, some Xprint users have reported a segfault in Xprt ( bug #337570, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=337570). running on powerpc.
They report it occurs with xprint 0.1.0.alpha1-12, but not with -11 or -10. Checking the build logs at http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=xprint, I see -11 was built for powerpc with gcc-3.3 (1:3.3.6-7), while -12 was built with gcc-4.0 (4.0.1-6). So there appears to be some regression in gcc4. Current gcc is 4.0.2-1. Is the segfault in xprint -12 something you might expect to occur, and would a rebuilt with gcc 4.0.2 be likely to repair it? One of the users (Felix, cc:d here) is attempting to build Xprt himself so we'll hear what his success is (he needs a fresh binary to get unstripped symbols so we can obtain a backtrace from gdb).
