(I can't compile a kernel it the compilers current state for some obscure reason so I'll have to have a flawless compiler first.)

Re: [expert] GCC/make gets random signal 11s
I believe the RPMs are compiled with several GCC options that optimize compiling for i586. Still, if your compiler is crashing with signal 11, I don't know that I'd trust it, even to recompile for i486. -Matt Stegman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Thu, 20 Jul 2000, Andreas [iso-8859-1] Bergstrøm wrote: > Matt Stegman wrote: > > Grab Mandrake's i486 7.0 ISO.

Well, I have a Mandrake 7.1 on it way to me in the mail, and I personally prefer using it, so I'll stick to Mandrake for the time being. But I would like to pinpoint the source of the signal 11s, but thanks anyway. May you live long and spamless, Andreas Bergstrøm -- HTTP://www.thespambuster.net/ Fight Spam!

The systems feels no slower than it was with RedHat 5.2 or 6.0, so if the Mandrake code is just i586 optimized I will stick with it and recompile for i486 RPM by RPM.

A list of mirrors is on Mandrake's site. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3 Look at the bottom of the page. -Matt Stegman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

[expert] GCC/make gets random signal 11s
When I am compiling something large, like a new kernel or Apache, GCC/make has a tendency to receive a signal 11 several times during the process, forcing me to restart make. I did not observe this when running RedHat so I was wondering if it could be the Mandrake optimisation of the kernel. (Happens on original 7.0 kernel as well as 2.2.16-9mdk-secure. Or is this just the price for running i586 optimized code on a i486? May you live long and spamless, Andreas Bergstrøm -- HTTP://www.thespambuster.net/ Fight Spam!
