I think I may have found a few bugs in 5.0 that need to be addressed. The first problem is with GCC, which means it may not be FreeBSD-specific. I build world and kernel with the CPUTYPE flag set to "p4" in /etc/make.conf, then installed it. Everything seemed to work fine, except periodically "make" and "as" would crash: make with a signal 10 and as with a signal 11. There was no rhyme or reason to the timing. I could re-run the same compilation with no error the next time through. On a whim, I removed the CPUTYPE flag from make.conf and rebuilt/reinstalled binutils and cc. After that, everything seemed to work fine. Just to be safe, I rebuilt and installed both world and kernel without the "p4" modifier.
The second problem is related to the "NOMANCOMPRESS" flag in make.conf. When installing the XFree86-4 port, I found that the "install" and "package" targets would stop with an error saying that they couldn't find gzip'd versions of the man pages. Of course that made sense when I specifically didn't want the man pages compressed! I think some of the scripts are not paying attention to that flag. If there's anything that I can do to help further investigate either of these, please let me know. -- Paul A.
