Dave,
A couple parting comments on the gcc4x packages. I am continuing to do
daily build of gcc trunk on x86_64-apple-darwin10 and have already gotten
my patches to build on darwin10 committed. The current packaging should
be trival to adapt to future gcc releases in general. Outside of making
sure that the --disable-libjava-multilib patch still applies to configure
the stock tarballs should be a straight drop-in. The only issue will be
to make sure that the cloog package is updated to the very latest upon
gcc 4.5 release. All of the other gcc4x packages are preset to co-exist
with gcc45. Currently I am focused on driving down the darwin specific
regressions in gcc trunk. We have some nasty regressions in exception
handling that has popped up in gcc trunk that hopefully will be fixed
before release (although debugging that is quite hard and the Apple
darwin developers are pretty much unable to help...curse of GPLv3).
Hopefully you will finally see some advantages from building gcc45
with cloog/ppl since the loop optimizations that graphite implements
are significantly enhanced in gcc 4.5. The one issue that will need
to be addressed is the addition of a fink gdb 7.x package which, with any
luck, will be working on darwin before gcc 4.5's release. The var-
tracking-assignments merge and other changes mean that Apple's gdb
will be unable to debug optimized code generated by gcc 4.5 (yes
a lot people are unhappy about that). If there are any particular
patches that aren't accepted into gcc trunk, I will be sure to pass
them onto whoever is doing the fink gcc45 package.
