Do I have this right, we are looking to have GCC 4.4.0 in the
/contrib repo, submitted through JUCR, we have
4.3.2, available via pkg gcc-dev-4 , we have 3.4.3
available via SUNWgcc, plus there is a current PTL 4820 to
migrate 3.4.3 to 4.3.x.
What I need as a developer is a stable env., I would like to
see JUCR containing the latest version available, eliminate
the others and have only the version available that is integrated,
via pkg. At least there will be a chance to keep developers current.
Does that make sense ?

Just so everyone knows, this has nothing to do with Sun Studio. This is
just to see if we can move forward in the migration to using GCC 4.4.x as
the default GCC versus GCC 3.4.x. What are/were the issues involved in doing
this and concerns with building things like ON_b116?
As of today, I've submitted the modified SPEC file for GCC 4.4.0 and existing
patches into JUCR as a work project for IPS packaging. If you can go into JUCR
you will see it. I'll spend some time converting it for JUCR's syntax and maybe
make some progress with Sun on the effort. Hopefully,
this will spark the GCCfss resources to update to GCCfss 4.4.0 as well
(see: http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc).
Note: The idea started when I wanted Phoronix to do their testing benchmark
article using GCC 4.4.0 with OpenSolaris 2009.06 versus Fedora 11. We
noticed IPS only have GCC 4.3.2 at the time - so I started reviewing
what we needed to migrating the Sun GCC packages to GCC 4.4.0.
That's it in a nutshell! Time and resource issues withstanding.
