Agreed, but.. (see below)

Building kfreebsd-5 (and kfreebsd-6, etc) requires gcc-3.4 as well.  Note that
upstream only supports their own fork of gcc-3.4 to build the kernel, and I'm
not aware of any plans to update it short-term.

So AFAIK no problem on our side to make gcc-4.1 the default, as long as gcc-3.4
is still present.

The same with mine, I think, though it's rather indistinct.

Re: GCC 4.1 in experimental / GCC for etch

2006-02-21 Thread Aurelien Jarno

Hi!

Matthias Klose a écrit :

The GCC (GNU compiler collection) 4.1 release candidate 1 can be found
in experimental.  "Porters", please make sure that the package is
built and uploaded (if it's not built by the experimental
buildd). Please check that the symbols exported in the 4.1 libraries
are a superset of those exported in the 4.0 libraries (these are
libgcc1 (except m68k and hppa), libstdc++6, libffi4, libobjc1,
libmudflap0).

The proposed GCC plan for etch consists of:

- uploading GCC 4.0.3 to unstable (this release is expected shortly
  after the GCC 4.1.0 release), let 4.0.3 migrate to testing.


The GCC website seems to be down currently, could you please tell us 
when the release are expected?



- uploading GCC 4.1 to unstable for those architectures which do not
  have ABI problems (these should be all, but should be validated).


Nice!


- Once the 4.1 packages are migrated to testing, make 4.1 the default
  compiler for i386, amd64, powerpc. These are the architectures,
  which are considred primary (linux) architectures by GCC upstream.
  For the other Debian architectures, the GCC port maintainers and the
  Debian port maintainers should make the call, if and when the
  default GCC is changed.


I think you could also make 4.1 the default one for kfreebsd-i386. They 
are very few differences with the linux version, and the testsuite shows 
good results.



- Make gij-4.1/gcj-4.1 the default for all architectures.

- Stop building compiler packages from the GCC 3.3 source; the only
  packages built will be libstdc++5 (and libgcc1 on hppa/m68k).


AFAIK the 2.4 kernels in Debian are built with gcc-3.3. What are the 
plans wrt to them?



- Stop building compilers from GCC 3.4.x, namely gobjc-3.4, gnat-3.4
  and g++-3.4 (it looks like we can go without g++-3.4 for the etch
  release).  Still build gpc-3.4, g77-3.4 and gcc-3.4, as g77 cannot be
  found anymore in 4.x releases.


Currently three architectures are still using gcc 3.4 to build the 
glibc, namely m68k, hppa and powerpc.


For powerpc, it seems we can make the switch to at least gcc 4.0. There 
is currently a problem of locales, but not sure it is related to gcc-4.0.


For hppa, the glibc builds well with gcc 4.0, but create problem with 
python/perl. It still has to be investigated.


For m68k, the glibc does not build, gcc 4.0 segfault on system.c. It 
looks like gcc 4.1 fixes the problem, but the resulting glibc has not 
been tested.


I think compilers are critical for the glibc, so we will have to 
coordinate the changes.

I had this once if I recall correctly. It isn't software curable (that
I could find). Look at google. 'They' say that it's either a memory
problem (faulty/broken memory), CPU problem (ditto) or MB problem (ditto
again!).

In my case it was a broken CPU. It broke when I installed a firmware
patch... Yes, you read correctly! See the following URL:

http://supportforum.sun.com/hardware/index.php?t=msg&th=1814

I managed to get Sun to replace the CPU free of charge even without
having a support contract... Don't think they had much choise. I'm
quite sure I had the law on my side that time, but I'm still _very_
(can't over state that enough!) greatfull that they did it...
