[issue20324] gcc-4.3 support on python-3.3 (libmpdec)

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

New submission from Dirkjan Ochtman:

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498640:

What compiler versions are supported for 3.3? We noticed an issue when 
compiling 3.3.3 with gcc 4.3:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: 
build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.3/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.3.3/work/Python-3.3.3/Modules/_decimal/libmpdec/mpdecimal.o:
 warning: relocation against `mprime_rdx' in readonly section `.text'.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: 
build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.3/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.3.3/work/Python-3.3.3/Modules/_decimal/libmpdec/basearith.o:
 relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `mprime_rdx' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

[issue20324] gcc-4.3 support on python-3.3 (libmpdec)

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

Do you mean gcc-4.2? The patch uses __GNUC_MINOR__  3.

On the FreeBSD build slave gcc-4.2 works:

   gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]


Are you sure that there aren't any gcc patches for this version? It 
looks like a gcc/binutils issue to me.
