Hello,
I was checking the wnnp page and noted there are packages which have been
orphaned for over 2 years. If someone reports perhaps an RC bug, can
someone else fix that bug such that it will be accepted in the new stable
system or does it have to have a maintainer before that? Thanks.
The bugs are *not* repeatable. I can type make, have the make
choke on something like the above, type make again, and it will get
through the compile.
Are you sure you don't have hardware problems?
Most likely such gcc failures are caused by bad ram and/or processor
overheat.
