Hi All, I've committed a new profile for testing out gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4 and linux-headers-2.6.17 on SPARC. This test is strictly for testing out these core parts of the toolchain by developers or users who are well aware of what they are doing and is not recommended for anyone for regular use and/or who cares about their system. You break it, you buy it :)
For the more daring, the profile will be available at your next sync as /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc32/dev/gcc-4.1.1 or /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/dev/gcc-4.1.1 for your symlinking pleasure. There are at least two known bugs with this right now (sys-apps/kbd and x11-base/xorg-server) which will hopefully be fixed in the tree soon. Temporary workarounds to this can be found at http://dev.gentoo.org/~weeve/overlay/gcc-4.1.1/ If you happen to encounter a bug that you believe is related to these toolchain elements, please file a bug at https://bugs.gentoo.org (bugs with patches are greatly appreciated). The profile may still need a bit of tweaking yet so don't be surprised if things change out from under you without notice. Again, if you care about your system at all and/or don't want to inspire the wrath of The Ori, do not use this profile. Cheers, -- Jason Wever Gentoo/Sparc Team Co-Lead
