After a small chat at #Gentoo-Sparc at freenode, I thought that I should
just say that the problem with X locking up is still there (15-rc7),
regardless of gcc version, and that the problem has to do with the UPA
code according those who know a lot more than I do.

What "UPA code"?

We don't even have so much as a UPA driver in the Linux kernel.
So it's hard to know what is being spoken about. Maybe something
in the X server?

Nah, the UPA code in the 2.6 kernel, if it had been in the X I hardly can think that X had worked under 2.4.


Perhaps these experts should explain :-)

That could be a lot better if they could post a reply and explaiin so you will know what they really are talking about.
