I know that it would be work, but could you expand a bit on the questions, the desired answers, and why. Or maybe helpful links. I, also, have struggled with tool chain issues on Alpha and others. I'll prime the pump with my take on your questions. 1) Was it triple built? Triple built, I'm guessing removes vestages of the old toolchain so that the new tool chain is purely new, built with the new toolchain. 2) What are the testsuite results? Actualy run the testsuite AND CHECK THE RESULTS. Don't just assume that somebody else will. Since the new toolchain was built using the new toolchain this is good sanity check. 3) What are the ./Configure and make flags? This is a million dollar question. I'd recomend starting with a set that is known by others to produce usable results. 4) Which kernel headers were used. Fairly self explanatory. It is a variable that in many cases won't make a big difference -- until it turns arround and bites you. 5) Have things been properly stress tested? What is a proper stress test beyond the toolchain test suites themselves? 6) What patch corrected the issue(s)? What sort of toolchain am I realy building? Which GNU/Redhat/other release was the starting point? What was done to it and why? What is the reason for this rebuild?

The good news is that all those segfaulting (in xmms, mozilla, ksplash etc.) I reported before disappeared (as I hoped). I am now testing behavior of my system with new glibc - looks very well so far. I'll proceed building latest mozilla (btw. the one from distribution - Mozilla v.1.4.1 is working now with new glibc package) hoping the build problem (segfault in regchrome) will disappear as well. I will contact Christian Balint and Mike Barnes in order to (presumebly) include this new package in distribution. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> _______________________________________________ axp-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:axp-list@redhat.com">axp-list@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/axp-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/axp-list</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
