Thanks for that. We have a few other patches which are part of trunk but not part of stable branches. So we need to consider those as well or we brake things what were working.
>The patch modifies debian/rules.patch to only apply the patch on >powerpcspe, so there should be no side-effects on other architectures. Not sure if this is wise. There is an _all package which containts the patched source. This source is used afaik for gcj. So this would work for +powerpcspe package but won't work in the official debian package. >I verified the patch to compile and be effective on a powerpcspe sid >installation running on a P2020RDB development board. cool. >I guess the same patch should go into gcc-4.3 as well, going to post a >corresponding bug report in the next days. No, I'm dropping gcc-4.3. There is little need in keeping it as all software compiles with 4.4+ >cheers, > >David Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
