and yes, the symlink is also in gcc4core and the link is there on unstable9s:
/opt/csw/lib/libffi.so=libffi.so.4.0.1 s none CSWgcc4core
Of course I can remove gcc3java, but we also need to take care of gcc4java.
@Maciej: I guess I need to rebuild gcc for this, right?
Yes, an upgrade to the version which does not attempt to install
libffi.so in /opt/csw/lib. I don't recall which version that was.
If you can catch that it would be fine and perhaps the best solution.
Riccardo, if you decide to work on GCC on 5.9, why not build GCC 4.8?
Why 4.8 and not 4.9? 4.9 has dropped Solaris 9 support:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00728.html
Actually 4.9 is reported to build on Solaris 9, both x86 and SPARC (you
mention available packages) nut also on gcc website. I tried however and
got a error which I will report separately.
The real problem is that I don't know how to keep a separate, older
version for solaris 9 in mgar. Some kind of branch? a new Package? Since
"current" is 4.9 right now. This is a problem that sooner or later needs
to be done anyway. Older systems will eventually diverge before you give
them up.
The same problem is why I did not start working on the "solaris 8
respin" (apart form the general lack of time and immense effort that
getting the first gnustep package working is)
