Please verify and extend the > patch if possible... The GCC bug exists on all architectures. Linux build is only affected on PowerPC, and only when modules are enabled, as far as I know. I have no way to build IA64 kernels right now, someone else will have to check and create a similar patch if necessary. > gcc-4.2.1 will be released soon. For some value of "soon". Likely this bug will be fixed in 4.2.1, and if not, I'll just update the range check in here. Segher
