Oops, I'm sorry. I was boiling water for a cup of coffee when I
typed that.

Duh! You're right. I did read the diff myself, but I didn't notice that.

CCVER=gcc3 with CPUTYPE=p3. No other 'fancy' flags except for -finline-limit
only when I build the kernel with gcc3. I've done installworld several times
this month, and sets of kernel and modules compiled with gcc2 and gcc3.
I can't remember the exact date on which the source tree was checked out,
but the build logs are dated 20040125, 20040207, 20040211, and 20040214.

Actually I had another machine running DragonFly, did a buildworld and
installworld from it via NFS. After that, I could build a working kernel
with gcc2 and -march=pentiumpro.

Thanks.
