[alpha, hppa] GCC-4.3 as the default compilers for lenny?

2008-03-22 Thread Matthias Klose 
For all ports besides alpha and hppa we plan to make GCC-4.3 the
default compilers for lenny.

 - both alpha and hppa show regressions in the glibc testsuite when
   built with GCC-4.3

 - gcj has a lot of regressions in 4.3 on alpha (but doesn't work in
   4.2 either).

 - gij/gcj shows bus errors on hppa (either 4.2 or 4.3).

Please could the porter teams give some advice (drop the architecture
for the lenny release, use another (which?) compiler version, drop
gcj/java support, or fix things)?

What is the list of regressions?

   - gcj has a lot of regressions in 4.3 on alpha (but doesn't work in
4.2 either).

   - gij/gcj shows bus errors on hppa (either 4.2 or 4.3).

Has gij/gcj ever worked on hppa-linux?

  Please could the porter teams give some advice (drop the architecture

Cheers,
