Thomas/Roland/Marcus: I have made my first attempt at compiling the gcc-3.0 snapshot.
Basically, I am interested in persuing this because I'd like to see us switch to the new C++ ABI before we port many of the C++ packages. Some of the other arch's are already using it, and we're very close to release. Ben's been encouraging people to make sure their software runs so I don't think it will be a bad thing. Are you willing to consider this? If yes, I propose the following sanity checks: o Hurd needs to build self-hosting. (a gcc-3.0 built hurd must be able to build a the hurd using gcc-3.0) o Gnumach (or oskit-mach if it starts working) needs to build self-hosting. o Glibc needs to cross-build. o Simple C++ compile that uses the STL. Do you guys want to field bug reports, or should I send them right through to the GCC folks? Tks, Jeff Bailey
