Just so you know, sparc64 kernel is only tested and working with
2.92.something version of the compiler. gcc 3.0.2 is untested in it's
own realm, so you are introducing two unknowns here: 1) gcc 3.0.2 and 2)
xfs on sparc64. lets start with one and then move to the other...
that said, have you had luck with a cvs kernel from vger.samba.org (dave
miller's tree for sparc64) with gcc-3.0.2?
or using gcc-3.0.2 on ia32 w/ xfs?
hmm...and you are introducing cross compiling into the fray, but I don't
think that should be much of an issue.
