 ...interesting. I have seen these NULL savefpstate panics on my ss20 (2x
 SM71) ever since I upgraded to HEAD. Just last weekend, I switched to a UP
 kernel to at least be able to build a few packages. Should have sent-pr
 earlier, I guess.
 
 Are you positive this is an exclusively gcc 4.5 related issue?
