So ppl in my experimental tree is built against gmp5 and exhibits the exact same test failures that people are seeing. [Need to report this upstream to ppl-devel.] If you accept (?) that this new ppl-gmp5 is no worse than ppl-gmp4, then 1) is feasible. > 2) Disable graphite in gcc44-4.4.5 using --without-ppl --without-cloog > and rebuild cloog against ppl9/gmp5 and gcc45-4.5.3 against > ppl9/gmp5/libmpfr4/cloog. > > I favor the second option myself since graphite is barely usable in gcc44.
