Absolutely. The openSUSE Build Service is great for this kind of stuff.
When it gets tricky is when a broken kernel may either be due to the kernel being broken genuinely or by the compiler, and you don't know which is the case.
It's not different if any other component on which you rely is broken for whatever reason. What specifically are you asking for? That your system please be not broken? Ever? Or something else?
Ciao, Michael. P.S: it's all a red-herring anyway, the non-booting kernel is in fact a kernel bug, not a GCC one, go figure.
Agreed. A warning would have been nice, though. I definitely wouldn't have tracked that one down to a missing align statement without your help. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuFVfQACgkQLPWxlyuTD7IdjACeMR4PsoQv2+PWAVz6PygHSDBT nGIAnAj5ozqRIQntpI6I2MYnSx5gE7ue =DH9/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
