I have no objection to moving to a unified version of gcc on hppa. gcc-4.8
would be my choice.

Afaics, the situation didn't change. There is nobody committing to work on the toolchain for these architectures. At least for release architectures the alternative is to drop the port unless somebody wants to maintain the toolchain for this port. This is the current status, please correct me if I'm wrong.

- alpha, no feedback, CCing Michael Cree.
- hppa, no feedback, CCing John David Anglin
- ia64, no feedback, likely to be removed.
- powerpc, found some feedback from the porters, but unrelated to
  toolchain issues, see

- ppc64, no feedback
- s390x, pending upload
- sparc, no feedback
- sh4, no feedback, doesn't build, CCing Nobuhiro Iwamatsu

Please resume considering to change using unified version of gcc,
because FTBFS of many packages occur by e.g. c++11
on ports which stayed using gcc-4.6 and g++-4.6,
ia64, powerpc, s390x, sparc, alpha, powerpcspe, ppc64, sh4.

And using unified version of gcc must bring happiness
to many package maintainers.

On the other hand, I understand that this changing depends on
the correspondence status of gcc porting,
so I leave decision to you.

This is a decision for the porters. If there are no active porters, there
shouldn't be a port.

Unfortunately, building gcc-4.8 source package on sh4 has not succeeded yet,
so here is a patch which changes gcc-4.8 using on ports except sh4.

Regards,


Dave
