Dropping inline from virtual methods worked indeed: build daemons logs: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=bobcat&arch=armel&ver=2.16.00-1&stamp=1306411374 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=stealth&arch=armel&ver=2.01.00-3&stamp=1306426051 However, it is still unclear why the compiler would behave differently on armel, and not simply ignoring the inline request as it does on other architectures. This is a subtle behavior and smells like a bug in the compiler itself. Should we prepare a sample code manifesting the issue and file a bug against gcc? Thanks for the help so far. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu>
