Hmm.. It shouldn't be needed. I've used both Slackware 2.3 and 3.0, both
upgraded to 1.2.13, and I have (had, I'm using 1.3.85 now) such problem.
The -m486 doesn't really have anything to do with this either, it simply
tells the compiler to optimize for a 486( which is a good idea if you
have a 486 :)
Adding the -g option to the compiler should also default to gdb, at least
with gcc.
Solution: I'm not sure.. But if you are going to upgrade to a newer
kernel(as suggested in a earlier post), you should probably move tho one
of the newer ones, since they will generally be more stable(e.g. 1.3.9x).
Well.. enough babble from me..
