I am running Gentoo Linux with GCC 3.4.2 and glibc 2.3.4.20040808 compiled with NPTL only (no LinuxThreads) and both a 2.6.9 and a 2.6.8.1 kernel.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will try with GCC 3.3.3 to see if that helps.

It's probably a gcc version issue. We try to get stuff working with most gcc versions, but no-one round here uses 3.4 by default -- it's way too bleeding edge.

The GCC has ssp-3.4.1 and pie-8.7.6.5 compiled in, but they are disabled for the compilation as Xen will not compile with them enabled (Are there plans to allow this?).

What are ssp and pie?
