On http://people.debian.org/~doko/gcc-3.[34] you find packages with a setup to build biarch compilers on powerpc (which needs a 64bit glibc as a build dependency). - gcc-3.3: added a patch to build from the hammer branch (3.3.4). This works on i386, fails on amd64, powerpc unknown. edit

Fix for miscompiled XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key generation and/or validation

2003-08-13 Thread Matthias Klose
With current gcc-3.3 CVS on i386 I am unable to reproduce this one. Please could somebody verify this for powerpc as well? - get the current gcc-3.3 source package - in debian/rules.patch, add debian_patches += m68k-update1 - rebuild the package - rebuild XFree86 with the new compiler. Thanks,

Not sure if this is a bad iDea ... I assume it is recommended to install LinuxPPC first? Is the iMac network chip supported by the LinuxPPC kernel? Thanks, Matthias Another question: Currenty there are two HFS+ partitions on the disk. Is there a way to keep the first partition and delete the

The egcs-1.1 release begins to appear on the horizon. As you can see in http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1998-Aug/0148.html a testsuite for egcs-1.1 was choosen: We've also got to get the glibc, linux kernel and RH5.1 build tests going in full swing. Who wants to volunteer for any of this work?
