Not sure if eclipse-ecj compiler is still needed to build other packages in extra that can't be build with other remaining packages. > Allan > > GCC is broken. German website www.heise.de proved new gcc can't compile SPEC suite. See gcc main mailing list. They're working on a fix. Question: Is it safe to build regular packages except kernel/modules in testing with new toolchain and move them later to core/extra before the toolchain moves? -Andy
