Apparently still using gcc 3.4.6, is that a problem?

I think it would be better to post that on b.g.o then here.

I've fixed it by changing my CHOST according to this page to safe values as indicated here.

Code: Select all

CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=c3 -O2"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Silly me.
