However, I did try it, not knowing there was a controversy, and have had no problems yet. In fact, I noticed that a gcc-2.4.5 compiled kernel would give funny readings from vmstat for the faults "in" field - numbers big enough to make the output wrap on an 80 col tty. With 2.5.0a, this number never gets over 600. btw, just incase it's relevant I'm running 386bsd-0.1 + pk0.2.4 with diffs to make kernels with gcc2. -Shawn
