Hi all, A few Debian architectures, are still using and old gcc to build the glibc. I think we should try to move slowly to gcc 4.0, as other versions (mainly gcc-3.4), won't be supported as gcc 4.0 will be. Also I have hurd they've been some discussions about shipping etch without gcc-3.4.
Here is the current status: - amd64, arm, alpha, i386, ia64, s390, mips, mipsel and sparc are already using gcc 4.0. - powerpc is using gcc 3.4, with a few workaround to some bugs (nptl/ppc64 built with -g2). I have tried to build a glibc (2.3.6) with gcc 4.0, and I am using it for a week now. I haven't found any problem, but I am not able to test the ppc64 version (I only have a 32-bit machine). Goto, it's seems you decided to switch to gcc-3.4 for powerpc in version 2.3.5-2. Did you remember why? - hppa is using gcc 3.4 because of bugs #326581 and #333766. I have tried to build a glibc with gcc 4.0, and found that bug#333766 is now fixed. As for bug#326581, it is still present, I will try to fix the problem. - m68k is using gcc 3.4. As I don't have such a machine, I will try to contact the glibc porters to get more information. - hurd-i386 is using gcc 3.3. I will contact the hurd porters the same way as for m68k.
