It would of course be super cool if we could use the series 6 gcc as that will soon ship with Debian 9 (stretch) but it's probably not trivial to just move to a new compiler version (as seems evident from the fact that a minor version change can mess up compilation).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks for your help Alistair and Eliot.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Max</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 18 May 2017, at 11:00, <a href="mailto:vm-dev-request@lists.squeakfoundation.org" class="">vm-dev-request@lists.squeakfoundation.org</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="Singleton"><blockquote type="cite" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">On 18 May 2017, at 00:50,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:vm-dev-request@lists.squeakfoundation.org" class="">vm-dev-request@lists.squeakfoundation.org</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>wrote:<br class=""><br class="">Hi Max, Hi Alistair,<br class=""><br class="">On Wed, May 17, 2017 at 1:06 AM, Alistair Grant <<a href="mailto:akgrant0710@gmail.com" class="">akgrant0710@gmail.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><<a href="mailto:akgrant0710@gmail.com" class="">mailto:akgrant0710@gmail.com</a>>><br class="">wrote:<br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><br class="">On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 04:59:24PM +0200, Alistair Grant wrote:<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">Hi Max,<br class=""><br class="">On 16 May 2017 15:40, "Max Leske" <<a href="mailto:maxleske@gmail.com" class="">maxleske@gmail.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><<a href="mailto:maxleske@gmail.com" class="">mailto:maxleske@gmail.com</a>>> wrote:<br class=""><br class=""> Hi Alistair,<br class=""><br class=""> On 16 May 2017, at 15:32, vm-dev-request@lists.<br class=""></blockquote><a href="http://squeakfoundation.org/" class="">squeakfoundation.org</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><<a href="http://squeakfoundation.org/" class="">http://squeakfoundation.org/</a>><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""> wrote:<br class=""><br class=""> Hi Max,<br class=""><br class=""> I can't answer your question directly, but just wondering why<br class=""></blockquote>you are<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""> using<br class=""> the itimer VM when the are known issues with external calls, and<br class=""></blockquote>not<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""> the<br class=""> heartbeat VM?<br class=""><br class=""> Because of the root user issue, and also because I don't care about<br class=""></blockquote>that<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""> much at the moment.
