Re: Compiling 2.4.1-preX series

[Shawn Starr <Shawn.Starr@Home.net>]

Fair enough, but something in bugs.h changed from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1-preX and
broke my GCC, I shall recompile GCC with no PGCC patches however if this
happens still then there's a problem somewhere.

I dont know what FXSR is but there was no problem in 2.4.0 with this.
