any problems with gcc 3.0/3.1 and compiling 2.4.18 on ppc?

[Andrew Bradley]

Franz,

I set the switches on my G3 card to the factory processor speed and a
setting lower on the factory cache speed and now the intermittent crash
has disappeared.

Thanks to your voice of reason.

I shall get back to building GCC 3.x and using GCC 3.0.2 to replicate my
work environment.

Regards
Andrew
