If the gas-patch isn't applied, you run the risk of getting wrong unwind-info into object-files. For GCC proper, that shouldn't matter but it could be an issue for the libraries generated by GCC. It's not all that common to get frame-pointer-relative info on ia64, which is the only case that's affected, so I suppose we could check the affected libraries for such info (assuming we can generate a list of affected libraries). Matthias> Same question for #278837. The hunk for file ptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/pt-initfini.c is definitely needed. The other hunks are needed only when building glibc with a GCC which has a dependency on -lunwind. Matthias> As an alternative, revert the libunwind patch. Which patch are you referring to here? My main concern is to ensure that the toolchain generates correct unwind-info. That question is independent of whether or not -lunwind is used by GCC, so I hope we can achieve the former even if the latter is out of scope at the moment. --david
