[haiku-development] Re: GCC4 stability issues

Hi all,


Has anyone tried running a gcc4 build on real hardware recently? It
seems incredibly unstable compared to the gcc2 equivalent

I can second that.
Additionally I had the problem, that no syslog is written to the bfs partition. In case you are trying to copy a file , it seems to work (probably because it's cached and not flushed to disc yet). But as soon as you try to call sync afterwards, it KDL's too.
I guess that the flush simply does not work on the gcc4 build and your described crash happens, when the registrar is trying to write things out to disk (it's supposed to do some work after idleing, if I remember correctly).
In case you need assistance (by providing 'screenshots' or else how), feel free to ask. 


Regards,

Maurice
