just installed an egcs on the ppc machine and rebuilt the xfs kernel
with it (4 files did not compile due to assembler problems - maybe
i need to downgrade the binutils too for which i don't have the
diskspace right now - but lets hope those 4 files are not that
important ... they are btw.: xfs_log.c, xfs_trans_buf.c, page_buf.c,
page_buf_io.c - i recompiled those 4 files with gcc 2.95 then)
the final result of this little experiment was: i get the same
problems on the ppc as with gcc 2.95 - so it looks like the problems
are more generic and not directly related to gcc vs. egcs ... will
try to investigate all this again deeper in the next days (i think
i will have a closer look at xfs_db and how it works - to see how
exactly the on disk structure looks like - is this a good idea ?)
