GCC 4.30 : Vanilla kernel 2.6.24.3/4 does not compile

Hi,

After the upgrade to gcc 4.30 my perfectly compiling kernel 2.6.24.3 and the today released 2.6.24.4 don't compile anymore. They provide an error message:

It is a VIA Esther processor (VIA C7) and this exact config did work perfectly before the gcc upgrade.
It is a vanilla kernel without any patches other than the 2.6.24.3 / 4 patch from kernel.org.

The forums and the bug tracker both have a search function. Please learn how to use it.

These replies pissed me of some years ago and they still do. I'm off this forum for the next couple of years or longer I guess. Arch is a great distro but it lacks a normal community. That was the problem yearts ago and still is.

Well, don't get all annoyed if someone points out there already are topics and bugreports addressing that.

It's really not a problem to point out that someone may have dropped the ball doing a search but to kick someone in the teeth without offering a link is just WRONG.

I might note thought that the way you did it was the helpful way and I for one appreciate your effort. 

Thanks!

Lucke, thanks. I did search before posting but did not read your links properly:

Linux version 2.6.24.4-1 (root@esther) (gcc version 4.3.0 (GCC) ) #2 PREEMPT Mon Mar 24 23:24:54 CET 2008

The FC patch did the trick. So it is solved thanks to you.  That's the only thing I wanted to say here before I leave.

it lacks a normal community.

Show me a forum where people don't get occasionally sick of answering the same stupid questions by people too lazy to use a Search button.

Being that lazy is rude, and an abuse of the goodwill of people providing a free tech-support service.

The huge advantage that forums have is that previous answers are just a quick search away.

Vanilla issues should be fixed upstream, please annoy upstream

first patch for the next stable release :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … 307724cea5

and it's already fixed in the 2.6.25 rc.
