Ahh. No pentium. So it's not the pentium 4MB page table stuff. Or do
you get a line like
4MB Pages : yes
in your /proc/cpuinfo? (it's supposedly a Pentium feature, but I
wouldn't be surprised if the newer-mask 486's did it too: they have
other "Pentium" features as well).
Whatever the result, gcc-2.7.0 seems to be constant in these reports.
Or maybe it's just that almost everybody but me has upgraded to a newer
compiler? I'd still like to hear if the problem happens with a
non-2.7.0-compiled kernel..
