Hey guys and gals, I was hesitating to try gcc-4.5.3 on a CentOS 4.9 with stone aged glibc-2.3 when I am bootstrapping it. In the past my experience with a couple of old machines is that >=gcc-4.3 never emerge with <=glibc-2.5 without USE vanilla.
A thread discussed this too[1]. It was a failure of CentOS 5, which makes CentOS 4 more scaring. To my surprise, gcc-4.5.3 USE 'fortran mudflap nls nptl openmp' worked! Maybe we can make a prefix gcc / glibc version compatibility matrix to track these reports :) Yours, Benda 1. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.alt/6110/focus=6119 -- XU Benda Research Center for Neutrino Science Tohoku University JAPAN http://www.awa.tohoku.ac.jp/~benda
