I'd like to be able to build cameleon on sparc now.
Don't know, i will test. I am not even sure it is related to that. Xavier told me everything is ok with gcc 3.2.1 and a bit older glibc than we use, and told me he would need access to a debian sparc box running unstable to investigate, but i have no such box, and i don't think it would be possible to give him access on a debian sparc box, those we have are too critical i think. At least i got no reply when asking debian-admin about it, but maybe it was not the best place to ask. Maybe i should ask in the debian-sparc mailing list. So, if any of you have access to a sparc box running debian/unstable, and would be ok with giving Xavier access, then please tell me, if not, i will try out the new glibc, and if it doesn't solve things, fill a bug against gcc 3.2, and ask for a machine on debian-sparc. In the meantime, you can always force the usage of gcc 2.95, using the -cc option to configure. Anyway, ocaml 3.06-15 is built with gcc 2.95, and 3.06-16 is sitting in the new queue.
