Just specify the compiler you want: Build-Depends: gcc-4.7 CC=gcc-4.7 ./configure Bothering with alternatives is a waste of time as gcc-defaults will be updated to either 4.8 or a mixture of 4.7/4.8 soon; I kind of remember doko saying something about the beginning of June. > I no longer have a PowerPC platform to test with, and qemu-user isn't > emulating deep enough for fakeroot-ng to work under (and is extremely > buggy for PowerPC emulation anyways).

Too bad, current qemu is incapable of running wheezy d-i, and upgrading from squeeze took me a crapload of effort. I heard that qemu's trunk (scheduled to release in a week) has this fixed, and our qemu team will wrangle it into shape soon, but if you want my upgraded image, say a word. -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
