Hi Chris,
I've been running into problems with gcc 2.95.2 as
well. KDE's control panel core dumps and a lot of the
other components in KDE crash.. not unusual. I think
it's a lot of 64-bit cleaness issues and also has to
do with what compiler gcc is compiled with. I'm
wondering if we compile gcc with the cc compile from
Compaq if that would clear some of the issues up. It's
a long shot and I have to find out what the licensing
is for their cc/c++ on alpha Linux. I may also be
close to finding out what to disable in the generic
kernel so that it works on my alpha. I'll keep you
up-to-date on that. As soon as I'm done with figuring
that out, I'll look into getting gcc working right. If
that does not work out, then egcs will have to be
compiler.
