Re: GCC 4.5 testing -- your help wanted



Hi,

I've encountered one problem which seems to be triggered by new gcc
version In my spare time I'm working on a Openmoko GTA02 port. It's
mostly based on existing evbarm/SMDK2410. I have a kernel and a small
ramdisk running on both the device and qemu. With gcc 4.1 everything
works as expected. When I've switched to 4.5 I've experienced the
following problem. In my ramdisk's /etc/rc I simply execute /bin/sh.
When I run it on qemu I see a shell prompt but after I type any command
kernel panics.

panic: kernel diagnostic assertion "c->c_magic == CALLOUT_MAGIC" failed:

Faulted in DDB; continuing...

If I use the same ramdisk, but with a kernel compiled using gcc 4.1
everything works as expected.
