Intel's Clear Linux Switches Over To GCC 7 Compiler

Usb tethered Android phone? Which in turn has been connected to WiFi. You'll get 'Ethernet' connection out of it.

Thanks, but don't have an Android phone (do have an iPhone).

Gcc 7.1.0 has a great potential

I finished recompiling my Gentoo system with GCC 7.1, seemed to take longer than with GCC 6.3. Only had to switch a few packages away from using LTO. One of which I think was due to a change in binutils. Two other failures possibly related to gentoos sandbox. Message is currently failing since an anvil allocator change made this morning.

Wine seems to be misbehaving, I'll try again with O2 and see if it works any better

Overall good impression of GCC 7.1 not as many broken packages as usual for a major version upgrade

did you get firefox to work? It seems gcc-7 miscompiles xpcshell, which, at the end of the firefox build, is used to initialize a cache, but it just sits there, consuming all memory until it gets killed by the oom-killer. Even -O1 didn't help here.

Too bad. Solution would work on pretty much anything (all flavors of BSD's included).

No I didn't, I thought the failure was due to sandbox
