It would be interesting to know why the test claims to be 'unsupported' for current trunk (except that it would fail because of this bug). // { dg-require-effective-target freorder } // { dg-options "-fnon-call-exceptions -freorder-blocks-and-partition" } you would have to back out of the patches and the change that causes the fault .. if the test still claims to be unsupported - that implies something different (again, not related to the current bug). In any event the two remaining issues need resolution -- I suspect they are causing fallout elsewhere. ... I just don't see the point in swelling this patch to solve those .. the intention of this patch is to get correct function section selection for Darwin.
