Anyone ever read this?
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2005-04/msg00002.html
I especially noted the statement:
"If you especially want to compile glibc using GCC development
snapshots, then you should be working with the current development
version of glibc (see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/). That code is
not yet ready for release, but already builds well with GCC 4, and fixes
many new compilation warnings that you will still see in 2.3.6."
Again, as I see things, if we want to be using gcc4 we should be doing
it correctly and using the code that is meant for it, ie, glibc
snapshots, *not* trying to patch glibc ourselves. I know that it 'works'
at this point, but it still doesn't feel correct. Cross-LFS already has
exposed a bug that is resolved simply by switching to the snapshot.
Anyway, I've spoken on this point before, I won't bring it up again.
But, I saw this message just now, and as they say, 'from the horse's
mouth'...
