We are currently at a standstill with the gcc42
release until I can resolve moving the 64-bit gcc
libraries properly into the gcc42-shlibs package.
I believe we currently don't have the proper tools
in fink to achieve this. I would rather not release
gcc42 with those shlibs in the wrong package since
it would violate fink policy to move them later.
I have checked with the FSF gcc darwin developers
and it is very unlikely that FSF gcc will be changed
to use fat binaries. We could mimic Apple's gcc and
manually create the fat shared libraries. However
I suspect that will cause us problems in the end
since we will be using a totally non-standard mode
to install FSF gcc and will have to deal with any
bugs we create (such as how make check at -m64 would
find the proper 64-bit shared libraries). A very
simple fix would be if fink could define a variable
as x86_64 or ppc64 depending on the detected arch
so that I could just use that variable in the
Shlibs pathnames for the 64-bit libraries. We are
currently stuck until this issue is resolved in
a proper manner.
