I've been working on gcc recently (gcc 4.7.2, primarily on RHEL 5 & RHEL 6) and am encouraged to see others are doing so (Note: I've not been using the efs-deploy-config-gnu-gcc infrastructure, but I'm looking at it as a baseline). I have a couple of observations:
1- Recent gcc's allow for the downloading of the dependencies: eg, ./contrib/download_prerequisites. That builds mpc, gmp, and mpfr, and since those are only used during the build process, there are no runtime dependencies. I've found a source-post hook that runs that step to be useful. 2- Are there some test cases out there for multilib handling? I've put together some tests I'm doing for that handling, but it would be great if we had a consistent test suite. Once I have things converted to this infrastructure, I'm happy to submit what I have. 3- I notice fortran just got removed. Do people actually need Objective C? (ie, --enable-languages objc) Thanks, Steven _______________________________________________ EFS-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.openefs.org/mailman/listinfo/efs-dev
