I've found now the time to run a test, and I found that while on Ubuntu, until now, I couldn't compile a 64bit UML (I thought of some regression I didn't have the time to debug), compiling the same code with gcc 3.4 gets a fully working UML.
The used UML is release 2.6.18.6. Ubuntu's gcc is: $ gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: x86_64-linux-gnu Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f95,objc,ada,treelang --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --program-suffix=-4.0 --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-java-awt=gtk-default --enable-gtk-cairo --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/jre --enable-mpfr --disable-werror --enable-checking=release x86_64-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5) Without any errors, after these messages: kjournald starting.

But not until... well, I dunno when I'll be back... Anybody else with the same problem? -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can add them to my list!
