 Hi,

 In a message a lot of weeks ago Kim Andersen wrote that the 386bsd
kernel could be compiled with gcc 2.x apart from machdep.c.
Seeing nothing in this group about a fix for machdep.c, I tried to
make a working kernel with gcc 2.3.3.
 The problem is in the structures defined in "/sys/i386/include/segments.h".
All the fields of these structures (descriptor tables) _have_to_be_
byte aligned because the Intel 386/486 CPU wants it that way.This is
no problem with gcc 1.39, but gcc 2.x aligns the struct fields on 4
byte boundaries.
 An example : struct { int x:16; int y:32; } s;
              With gcc 1.39 sizeof(s) = 6.
              With gcc 2.3 sizeof(s) = 8.

 Solution:
1. add HANDLE_SYSV_PRAGMA to gcc's config/i386bsd.h.
2. put #pragma pack(1) at the beginning (line 59) of segments.h
   put #pragma pack(4) at the end (line 196) of segments.h

 I have appended all my patches at the end of this message.
 The patch for ldexp.c is here because I encountered problems - atof(3)
depends on ldexp() and atof("1.0") returned -1.0 - with the original
patch that Wolfgang posted to this group about two months ago (maybe
I messed things up when I applied the patch originally). I exchanged
temp and temp2 and the problems went away.
 The patch for npx.c includes an old patch (outb(0xf1,0) instead of
outb(0xb1,0) and two changes in the comments) posted to this group
a long time ago.
 The patch for segments.h includes a couple of long lines (> 80 chars),
which may cause this patch to fail.

Happy new year,

Onno van der Linden      c/o         vdlinden@fwi.uva.nl
