Re: GCC-4.5 as the default for (at least some) architectures

Dave, What's your opinion on switching to GCC 4.5 for HPPA? Do it! I have built glibc with it and all my recent kernel have been with 4.5. I'm not aware of any new issues with 4.5 and a number of things are fixed. For kernel builds, the following patch must be included: 2010-12-18 John David Anglin dave.ang...@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca PR target/46915 * config/pa/pa.c (branch_to_delay_slot_p): Use next_active_insn instead of next_real_insn. Search forward checking for both ASM_INPUT and ASM_OPERANDS asms until exit condition is found. (branch_needs_nop_p): Likewise. (use_skip_p): New function. (output_cbranch): Use use_skip_p. (output_bb, output_bvb): Likewise. There are some other bug fixes in 4.6 that might need back porting. We also need this binutils change: 2011-02-18 John David Anglin dave.ang...@nrc-cnnrc.gc.ca PR ld/12376 emulparams/hppalinux.sh (DATA_ADDR): Define. (SHLIB_DATA_ADDR): Likewise. This should eliminate cache issues arising from non equivalent aliasing. Hopefully, the above will help resolve some of the build and kernel issues that blocked squeeze. I personally don't know what the critical blockers were. If they involve GCC or binutils, I'm willing to take a look. I'm sure a number of things have been magically fixed by updates to the middle-end. The biggest issue is the callee copies args on HPPA and this differs from most other targets. Regards, Dave -- J.
