I don't know about bug-fixes but for me 4.5.3 (probably also 4.4 but I can't say for sure) had some regressions on athlon-xp.
On a machine that passes memtest over night and almost never gives me any problems with code compiled with 3.6 and 4.1 - 4.5.3 segfaults randomly when building itself on the second stage (after bootstraping).
4.3 seems to generate stable code and I'll stick to it for a while.
I started noticing problems when recent 32bit images from ubuntu and gentoo freezed the PC.
- ruediger 15y agoDid you report that? It seems you should rather discuss that on the gcc mailinglists with the gcc developers.
- crististm 15y agoTo answer your question: not yet. I've seen similar reports as mine but not that many. Athlon-xp is not exactly new and few people use it to even care to report problems (specially when random segfaults are mostly associated with hw). On the other hand ruling out hw problems took me several weeks of rebuilds and before reporting I'd like to test also the vanilla sources (the ones from gentoo are patched)
