You need new libs and other new binaries, for example gdb !!! which works now.

Ups, why that ? Here it works.

Oh, PLEASE use the gcc which is in current ! There is NO garantee that a 2.6.x
works with the current kernel and binaries.

It tooks me one day to update from 1.0 to current :)

That is maybe a problem with the a different gcc and not the one from current.

Thats normal when you use current.

I don't have any problems since 6th Januar. I use current since that day.

P.S: When I have time I make a set of binaries and upload it on regensburg,
but don't expect that for the 15th this month.
