Could the attached patch please be considered for inclusion in the
Debian GCC v3.3 package? As you can see from the attached message, I
also submitted the patch for inclusion in GCC v3.3.3 and the
equivalent fixes are already in pre-v3.4. The bug-fixes are important
because NPTL-enabled glibc won't work properly on ia64 unless GCC is
built with libunwind-support enabled (libunwind support is automatically
enabled if libunwind v0.95 is installed on the build-machine; I'm working
with Al Stone to get the Debian package for libunwind v0.95 be available
by default on ia64 for Debian/unstable).
Thanks,

Hi Gabriel,
Jim Wilson told me that you're the release manager for GCC v3.3.3. I
have a small patch consisting of fixes backported from pre-v3.4 which
are needed on IA-64 to get the libunwind support working. Working
libunwind support is getting more important on IA-64 now because the
latest versions of glibc stress the unwinder much more and the
built-in unwinder for IA-64 (config/ia64/unwind-ia64.c) is hopelessly
broken (I looked into fixing the built-in unwinder, but the scope of
the fixes would be large and would have a real potential of
introducing a new set of bugs so I concluded it's better to leave the
built-in unwinder as is and switch to libunwind instead). The patch
should be completely safe because it won't affect the building of GCC
in any fashion unless libunwind is installed. And even then libunwind
support could easily be turned off with
--disable-libunwind-exceptions, should there be some unexpected
problems. Also, I have tested this patch with an NPTL-enabled glibc
and "make check" passes all tests with this patch applied.
One caveat: the patch below is relative to the GCC as distributed by
Debian package gcc-3.3-3.3.2ds5. I believe this is very close to the
official GCC v3.3.2, but if there are any unexpected problems, please
let me know.
Thanks,
