GCC 4.2 transition

2007-07-20 Thread Matthias Klose
The plans for the GCC 4.2 transition were described in

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/06/msg8.html

Does any port still need to stick with GCC 4.1 for a while?  Feedback
from hppa, mips*, s390, powerpc, amd64, i386 porters doesn't show
objections against the transition.

I have objections :)

Yes, it's pretty odd, but recompiling the whole kernel tree with gcc 4.2
causes my usbhid to totally not work.

I have another objection. I'd like all mozilla security updates to be built
before gcc 4.2 becomes the default, because they don't build correctly yet,
and I am (still) waiting for an upstream comment on how to fix it.

According to Bastian Blank, gcc 4.2 currently produces broken sparc 
kernel images.

Another thing which comes to mind: we have recently announced that 
sparc32 machines are not going to be supported in lenny. Transition to 
the new gcc version seems like a perfect time to turn on the 
ultrasparc specific optimizations in gcc by default. Do you think it 
is feasible? I currently have no idea what breakage such a change 
might cause.

Best regards,
