If they have active contributors, I think they should also be noted there, otherwise this file is more than useless.

Note that they are a few worrying bugs on armel like #628063, #697521, #727621 that have not been forwarded upstream yet. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-s390-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's the other way around. Every architecture should have an entry. But maybe it is easier to mention which architectures currently don't have such entries, namely sparc, s390, ia64, powerpc, ppc64. x86 should be waived. we do have active contributors for kfreebsd, the hurd, m68k, alpha, powerpcspe, mips64, hppa at least. arm* is missing here, but it is usually taken care of by myself.

Note that I have just done the change in the SVN, it would be nice if you can upload gcc-defaults.

Switch default GCC to 4.8 on s390x
Hi all, The s390x architecture is still using GCC 4.6 as the default compiler, while most other architectures have already switched to GCC 4.8. It starts to cause problem for building packages: some packages need C11 features to be compiled, while some others assume the default compiler is already GCC 4.8 (in that case they are actually buggy). It would also help having the same default version of GCC than for GCJ, GDC or GFORTRAN. I therefore propose to switch the default compiler on s390x to GCC 4.8 by default. It is already used to build the kernel without any known issue. Any comments or opinion on that?
