Has anyone successfully patched and compiled a pgcc/egcs package for Slink? I was able to patch for Potato using the gcc source package and a slightly older gcc source tarball patched with the pgcc patches. I recently updated one of my testing machines to Potato, and the patched gcc seems to be working fine. Unfortunately, the Potato gcc source package requires the Potato debhelper, which won't compile without versioned perl, and the slink egcs package doesn't patch with any pgcc patch files. :/
Is there any documentation on compiling for glibc 2.0 on a glibc 2.1 system? And how could I verify that the patched compiler is actually producing optimised code? (In my case for AMD K6 with MMX) -- Ferret no baka
