gcc-3.3.1 breaks kernel
Hi all...
Any brave soul there is using a prerelease of gcc-3.3.1 to build kernels ? (don't know if RawHide or SuSE beta or any other have that, apart from MandrakeCooker).
I have tried both with 22-pre2 and 22-pre4 and both hang. They can not start /sbin/init (or at least hang there). Once I got to a bash prompt with init=/bin/bash, and ls listed everything _twice_ and then hung.
Any idead about what pice of code is being miscompiled ?

Debian has some amounts of 3.3.1 prerelease bits in -testing.
It seems to build bootable x86 kernels here in both 2.4 and 2.5.
(however, note my .configs only contain drivers and subsystems that are absolutely necessary)
