Bug#591259: gcc-4.4 cannot compile kernel properly
Package: gcc
Version: 4:4.4.4-2
Severity: important
On my "system", I am unable to compile a working kernel (the latest version). More specifically, the kernel boots, but hangs when it tries to launch /sbin/init .
The "system" is a virtual machine under MS Virtual PC 2007 SP1, version 6.0.192.0, the real OS is Windows XP SP3 32-bit.
The Debian distro is the latest "testing" (squeeze), all packages are the latest versions.
I played with various kernel config options and (recent) kernel versions, but nothing helped to resolve the situation. OTOH, in this same virtual machine, working 2.6 kernels, including the latest, have been produced by many different gcc versions - 3.4, 4.1, 4.3 etc. And, of course, the kernel compiles and runs just fine with the gcc-4.3 package, from the same "squeeze" distro.
For example, I get this on the screen when I attempt to boot kernel 2.6.34.1 compiled with gcc-4.4:

The error is always and easily reproducible. If more info is needed, I'm ready to supply it.
