I've just managed to build perl with gcc-3.3 and -O1 on pp_ctl, pp_hot, and pp_sort, using the patch suggested by Brendan earlier in the bug report. I've uploaded this binary-only to unstable, although I know that's a hack. Thanks to Vince for letting me use astonishing amounts of CPU time on this.
Unfortunately, the build depends on the new libgcc1 from gcc-3.4. debian-gcc, can I confirm that you intend to let the current version of gcc-3.4 into testing, once the m68k build arrives? Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
