Filing critical bugs against general certainly isn't a particularly
useful way to find a solution... Mailing m68k-build (CCed) instead might
prove to be a lot more useful. :)
Anyway, nearly every such bug I've seen so far could be worked around by
lowering optimization. I'd try to build e2fsprogs with -O1 or something
myself, but unfortunately my m68k is currently sitting in some box or
other. Anyone else wanna take a look at this?
