They may have forwarded it to gcc-bugs and not mentioned it. OTOH, he seems to think this is the alpha complex bug, which it isn't.

I think the question was why is an important error that open-amulet can't be built, because open-amulet is optional. g++ is, of course, the only g++ compiler :-). But besides the other versions of g++, the only free C++ compiler (I know of) is Tendra, and that's a little out-of-date. So getting stuff to work with g++ is rather important. This is an important bug, in that if it can't be fixed on the g++ side, it will be an important bug on the open-amulet package (to either build with another C++ compiler, or not build on Alpha at all.) Still, it should probably only be a normal bug on g++. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
