I *just* tested rebuilding it on my i386 box, using the latest sid packages, and it worked fine, so I'm not sure why it's failing on hppa buildd. I don't have any other architectures available to me.
Is there any documentation on whether or not compiling into /dev/null is supported, or is this undocumented behavior that just happens to work on everything BUT hppa? Seems like it's worth asking the gcc guys, so I'm forwarding this to the gcc list. In the mean time, I'll twiddle with the build scripts tomorrow and send in a new package that should compile on hppa. I've known about this for quite some time, but really had no idea what was causing it, so I just kinda left it alone, hoping it was some hppa bug that would just get fixed later. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
