Jack, To comment on this issue, I feel I would need more details, like: - what symbols are you talking about? (probably ashldi3, etc, as mentioned in the patches you refer to), - what was the bug that was fixed in gcc 3.1? - why has fixing this bug in gcc 3.1 caused you to add fixes to glibc? If this is really about a few libgcc symbols only, I doubt there is any serious problem hidden in there. Regards, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
