Hi, I'm doing this via email because I have so little free time I could 
never spend the time on IRC needed.  But I have an AMD64 system that I'm 
running in 32bit mode. I've been fighting with the obviously buggy 
2.6.11.x kernels and my VIA sata drives, but I finally got a working 
2.6.10 kernel that I patched with the grsecurity patch set on low 
security. So I ran a sorcery rebuild to make sure of the grsecurity 
patch compatibility.  There were several problems, not the least of 
which was gcc which failed due to: gcc -c   -g  -DIN_GCC   -W -Wall 
-Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic
-Wno-long-long    -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -I. -I/usr/src/gcc-3.4.3/gcc 
-I/usr/src/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/. -I/usr/src/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/../include  
/usr/src/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/local-alloc.c -o local-alloc.o
/usr/src/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/local-alloc.c:2436: internal compiler error: 
Segmentation fault

I'm using devel sorcery branch, version:20050415 and the test grimore. I 
also noticed this error during the recast of net-tools right after 
asking Enable init script network? [y]: 
/var/lib/sorcery/modules/libmisc: line 592: 11429 
Done                    echo " PPP "
    29171 Segmentation fault      | grep -qE -e 
"[[:space:]]AFASH[[:space:]]"

In any case my gaze installed output is now down to only 52 
applications! And though I'm still in an xfce4 session running many 
applications most of them are not listed including xorg. But now cast 
xorg fails: Failed to unpack 
/var/cache/sorcery/xorg-6.8.2-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
Resurrect failed for spell: xorg version 6.8.2
though I do have /var/cache/sorcery/xorg-6.8.2-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

Should I assume that the gcc compile error is due to the grsecruity 
kernel patch? If I try to boot into a different kernel, what would be 
the easiest way to restore all the spells that I had installed (~=500) 
that are still in /var/cache/sorcery? And I already tried cast -c 
--no-opts gcc which also seg faults.
Thanks,
Jackson
