[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?

Has gij/gcj ever worked on hppa-linux?

at least the gij/gcj before adding support for generics (1.5) did
work.  Now that a working runtime is required for the compiler makes
things different. Please try to run a random HelloWorld program using
the interpreter.

I'm not at all interested in gij/gcj. Why do we require that all
languages be functional for a gcc release? This is a difficult goal to
meet.

As the hppa-linux libc-ports maintainer I *am* interested in seeing
the list of regressions you have and commenting on them.

Also note that the hppa-linux list is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers,
Carlos.

I have tried to build the glibc with GCC 4.3 on hppa, and rpcgen
segfaults when it is used, so the build fails. I haven't start to
investigate the problem (I started by the architectures where the
problems were minor).

Cheers,
Aurelien

I'll let the release team answer this question. IMO we should require
a port to support some kind of java runtime.  Is there any chance to
get the IcedTea Zero port working for hppa, or get the hpux java
support be ported to OpenJDK?

 As the hppa-linux libc-ports maintainer I *am* interested in seeing
 the list of regressions you have and commenting on them.

Please wait for the feedback from Aurelian.

 Also note that the hppa-linux list is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

thanks for the hint.

  problems were minor).

In 99.999% of the cases a segfault in rpcgen is caused by the newly
build dynamic loader. On Monday please ping me about this and I'll try
to reproduce the failure and give you an analysis. I'll be on
#debian-glibc if you want to talk in realtime.

Cheers,
Carlos.
