Per our IRC conversation, the second patch in 50521, "patch to honour STRICT_ALIGNMENT," breaks the gcc build. Midway through, xgcc is used to generate an executable which segfaults. The build works with 50521's "proposal patch" however. I have not tested the result. -- Brendan Conoboy / Red Hat, Inc. / blc@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
