Greetings, I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I was unfortunately not able to dredge up this information. What are the plans with OSOL in terms of gcc/sun studio? Is the plan to eventually have OSOL built around gcc, and integrate the additional optimizations sun studio is capable of into gcc (mainline?) Probably some licensing/intellectual properties involved here, just curious what the game plan is.
What prompts this question - I have a heck of a time compiling a lot of software on OSOL. Not that this is a fault of OSOL (90% of the time it's braindead autoconf scripts, and things of the like - written for gnu-specific toolchains - for example the linker.) I'm just curious if the eventual plan is to switch to the gnu toolchain for the base distribution, or if there will always be a seperation, with some solaris development toolchain tools, and some gnu. Also, this post piqued my interest: http://forums.opensolaris.com/thread.jspa?threadID=492&tstart=0 One last thing, what's the status of gcc in opensolaris? This is quite an older version, although I don't necessarily need any of the newer functionality/fixes, they'd be nice. :) I attempted a build, but it was (as usual) a lot of fist fighting, and I didn't have to time to deal with it.
