should bugs really be closed?

2003-07-29 Thread Nikita V. Youshchenko

Hi, Adam Heath wrote: These bugs won't be fixed in gcc-3.2. gcc-3.3 is a newer upstream version. Just because it's made as a separate package doesn't mean a newer upstream hasn't been uploaded(3.3). You shouldn't forget that gcc 3.2 is still default on sparc... Grüße/Regards, René --
