+Subject: Don't use '-fwrapv' compiler option: it's buggy in gcc-4.1.x
+
+From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
+
+commit a137802ee839ace40079bebde24cfb416f73208a upstream.
+
+This causes kernel images that don't run init to completion with certain
+broken gcc versions.
+
+This fixes kernel bugzilla entry:
+       http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012
+
+I suspect the gcc problem is this:
+       http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230
+
+Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which
+not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it
+was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing
+to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow
+are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.
