Odin 0.8.9 locks up Firefox immediately as soon as a video on YouTube is started. Will provide logs tomorrow. Odin 0.8.8 is fine.

There is one incompatibility with GCC 4.7.3 in Odin: the PE and PEC tools.

They use custom startup code (to reserve as low virtual address in private memory space as possible — this is vital for some WIn32 .EXE files which have the very low virtual entry point which we must be able to provide as there is 1-to-1 address mapping).

However, GCC 4.7.3 puts a reference to __ehInit (C++ exception handling) in each object file it generates. And since we don't link to the normal CRT startup code in case of PE/PEC, this symbol remains undefined. This seems like a bug of GCC, more details are here: ​https://github.com/psmedley/gcc/issues/8.

Pe.exe, pec.exe and I think pe2lx.exe do not work when built with vac365. I can replace pe.exe and pec.exe with ones built with vac308 and then all works so it is specific to those executables. I have not tried pe2lx to see if it works but it seemed to fail when I ran it as a test. These fail silently, there is no error message displayed and no entry in popuplog.os2 that I have found. These did work ok at one time as I used to build Odin with VAC365 years ago and I don't recall a problem myself nor do I recall anyone reporting an issue with the builds I had uploaded.
