hmm, weird CC, sorry.

May bad things happen to glibc's weird ass stat implementation.

Which glibc is that header from?

[elmarco]

gcc-snapshot/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.0/include-fixed/sys/stat.h

gcc-snapshot is ubuntu gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20070414 (experimental), which might be broken (I would not take the risk to say so).

it seems they ship there own headers "include-fixed" on top of libc (and others! linux, X11, firefox!)

Seems to be serious ubuntu borkage. Doesn't happen on any other OS, including Fedora which is usually bleeding edge (please note that most gcc hackers work for rh these days).

I am sorry, but I don't see why I should spend any time for fixing bugs which appear only when you compile our code with something with an "experimental" and "snapshot" in it.

Sorry. Closing as wontfix.

If you have a working patch, feel free to reopen this bug and I will look into merging it.

Hello,

For info, I am also encountering this problem on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 together with gcc 4.3.0 (on AMD64)

The packaged system compiler gcc 3.4.6 is deteced as too old by the atomic ops package, so that seems not to be an option.

[lennart]

The systems in question are really really old. Will close this now, since it is not worth investigating, given that PA requires a very new kernel these days anyway.
