This patch in mind, I built the vax-linux kernel again with gcc-HEAD (gcc-4.1) and it blew off in: $ make V=1 ARCH=vax CROSS_COMPILE=vax-linux- mopboot [...] vax-linux-gcc -Wp,-MD,init/.initramfs.o.d -nostdinc -isystem /home/jbglaw/vax-linux/scm/build-20050802-171439-vax-linux/install/usr/lib/gcc/vax-linux/4.1.0/include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -ffreestanding -O1 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -DKBUILD_BASENAME=initramfs -DKBUILD_MODNAME=initramfs -c -o init/initramfs.o init/initramfs.c init/initramfs.c:10: error: message causes a section type conflict init/initramfs.c:33: error: head causes a section type conflict init/initramfs.c:80: error: ino causes a section type conflict init/initramfs.c:80: error: major causes a section type conflict [...] Adding -fno-unit-at-a-time fixed this, but from what Google found, this is actually a bug in the C sources: the __initdata variables are to be put into a read-only segment but are missing a const qualifyer, so -fno-unit-at-a-time seems to hide a bug here. Could somebody comment on this? Or shall I open a bug report for GCC?
