Linus Torvalds was overheard saying:

Okay, just finished all my compiles. On the exact same system (egcs 1.1b,
binutils 2.9.1.0.15, modutils 2.1.121), I can get 2.1.125 to compile and lock
solid after uncompressing for both UP and SMP systems. But, under 2.1.126
everything works fine. I'm presently running Pentium UP and PPro SMP 2.1.126
systems.

This is using the default "-O2" optimization.
