So perhaps it has been already fixed? Did you see the breakage with the original compiler? It might be some config setup or something. But yeah, if Debian/sid is just using random compiler snapshots of the day, I htink we can just bury this as "pointless". Who the heck takes a compiler snapshot and runs with it? At least when your kernel breaks, it seldom breaks subtly (but I would expect that most distros would not pick random nightly kernel builds). When your compiler breaks, you have random problems in totally unexpected places, the last thing you want to have is a random nightly snapshot in a distro - even a development one. Strange. Linus
