Hi,
There were also other oddities about the "gcc43 preview" build, e.g.
difficulties building boost, that caused the LHC experiments to reject it
in favor of our own build(s) of the stock gcc43x. (Subsequent to that decision
the "preview" switched to gcc4.4...)
Funny you should say this! I'm trying to get gcc43 installed just so I
can match what is on the nodes on our RACF farm which are heavily
influenced by ATLAS's needs. However, I see that the stock
gcc43-4.3.2-7.el5 packages installed. FWIW, we also rely on Boost and
I've built it (v1.38) with gcc43 and didn't see any problems.
We found that gcc 4.3 from TUV failed to compile Boost 1.39
on i386. It compiled fine on x86_64.
hth, cheers, Jan
