Even there are open bugs, arches started stabilizing it. Is gcc-5.4.0 built "--with-default-libstdcxx-abi=gcc4-compatible"? On the Pale Moon linux sub-forum, there were crashing issues with the contributed Ubuntu build when Ubuntu switched to gcc 5. The maintainer of the Ubuntu Pale Moon build had to drop back to gcc 4.9 to fix the crashes. At home, for personal use, I build Pale Moon with a manually built version of gcc 5.4.0. Pale Moon has been rock solid for me on Gentoo and on a refurbished Lenovo T400 running Puppy Linux. The option "--with-default-libstdcxx-abi=gcc4-compatible" may be the reason it works for me. This may be valid for other applications, too. I think the problem is that you need the entire system to be one of... "--with-default-libstdcxx-abi=new" or "--with-default-libstdcxx-abi=gcc4-compatible" Mixing together does not seem to work. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
