Carlos, I think you are looking in the wrong place. The libgcc symbols in question, that were improperly exported from libgcc, were made .hidden at gcc 3.1 and later. So if you were exporting libgcc symbols, the binaries built with gcc 3.0 would definitely be impacted when these symbols disapp

sed breakage against glibc 2.2.93

2002-09-04 Thread Jack Howarth
Jeff, It appears that the breakage in the glibc 2.2.93 catgets/tst-catgets test is due to sed breakage. Interestingly the problem appears to lie in libc perhaps as we are unique in building sed with --with-regex= which uses the libc regex instead of seds own regex. Can someone with access t

Jeff, At Ulrich's suggestion I took a look at the sed program a source of our catgets/tst-catgets failure. It seems to be the source as I can't build it properly against gcc 3.2 now... ../sed/sed -n -f ../dc.sed < ./dc.inp >tmp.dc make[2]: *** [dc] Error 139 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/

Carlos, You don't have to resort to the full blown assembly version of libgcc-compat.S for hppa. You could just use the original version that was written in c...it won't be optimized but it will suffice... http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/sysdeps/powerpc/Attic/libgcc-compat.c

Jeff and Gotom, Please do look through your log-test--linux to see if you are getting failure on catgets/tst-catgets. Ulrich thinks this may be due to a buggy gettext. Rawhide has a heavily patched gettext 0.11.4 whereas we are on 0.11.5 in sid. So we may need this fixed by our gettext maintai
