I don't think that's a reason to delay fixing kdelibs' RC bugs. The build can always be delayed on mips/mipsel until the gcc problems are fixed, and fixing the bugs gives useful information to other developers on where problems are and where effort needs to be concentrated, saving time for people who are interested in investigating these things. In general, human effort is more valuable than autobuild effort. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
