How did you specify the 4.6? Doing that a straightforward way fails for some reason. Would be nice if it could be also investigated. Global switching gcc to gcc-4.6 with attached scripts did the job well. kbuild can be compiled even with -O3 and it works. Do you know, whether this bug with a kbuild/virtualbox as test case is already reported to gcc? Regards, Andrey
