Speaking of which, the MinGW folks also released their own version of gcc 4.4.0 some time ago (which contains several mingw specific patches). Perhaps this would be a good time to incorporate their patches in our version of gcc. Their patches can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GCC%20Version%204/Current% 20Release_%20gcc-4.4.0/gcc-4.4.0-mingw32-src-2.tar.gz/download I haven't looked in detail at those patches yet, but perhaps they contain some fixes which need a mass-rebuild of all our packages. > The license of native gcc package has changed from: > GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ with exceptions > to: > GPLv3+, GPLv3+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ with exceptions > > I have applied the license change to my copy mingw32-gcc spec file as > well, although I should point out that rpmlint thinks the license is > not valid: > W: invalid-license GPLv3+, GPLv3+ with exceptions I don't think that the comma should be there. Maybe you could ask the Fedora GCC maintainer (Jakub Jelinek) via email or IRC what the right value should be. > I also adopted a trick from native package to change what gcc --version > reports. Without that it would say 4.4.2 prerelease, but now it says: > > $ i686-pc-mingw32-gcc --version > i686-pc-mingw32-gcc (GCC) 4.4.1 20090818 (Fedora MinGW 4.4.1-1.fc12) Looks good to me.
