While making the kernel 2.4.4 I encountered the problem that the
function __buggy_fxsr_alignment() should be provided by the compiler
from at least version 2.91.66 on. I'm using pgcc-2.95.2 it seems as if
this function got lost during the patch from gcc-2.95.2 to pgcc-2.95.2. 

Or do I have to set any special option during the configuration of the
comiler?

Any Ideas?

Best Regards,

Dirk
