I confirm that GCC 4.9 does NOT work for Chromium 35. At
this moment I<br>
am not aware of any fix for it.</blockquote>

The problem is that narrowing down is very difficult, since the
problems manifest themselves as seemingly random stack
corruptions. I have tried to dig into it, but got nowhere.
Pointers suddenly became null for no apparent reason, or were
corrupted, free() calls failed, values on the stack suddenly
changed without being modified by the code etc.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't rule out that Linus Torvald's find isn't the cause
here. Look at this part of his message:<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
"The x86-64 ABI specifies a 128-byte red-zone under the stack
pointer, and this is ok by that limit. It looks like it's
illegal (136 > 128), but the fact is, we've had four "pushq"s
to update %rsp since loading the frame pointer, so it's just
*barely* legal with the red-zoning."<br>
<br>
Perhaps gcc is pushing further outside of the red zone bounds,
thus causing the problems. No idea how to check for that at the
moment though.<br>

Simplest would be to apply the upstream fix to Yocto's gcc and see
if that helps. You'd want commit
556537c4ad0df4cbebb74197bb2bdea75cf5dd35 from
git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git. (The patch went into
gcc-4_9-branch one day after 4.9.1 was released.)<br>
<br>
I'd add it to the current set but ATT Khem and I both have pending
patches that touch the same gcc files, so it'd just increase the
conflicts.<br>
