Nowadays most of the work left to be done is _pretty_ boring and _pretty_ simple so everybody could help patching ^^ lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo Council Member Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Enrico, it is usually a good idea to search through the Bugzilla before asking for some feature, chances are that it has been already requested (in this case, you're looking for bug 190102). FYI, at least some of qemu's features were ported to gcc4 -- for example, see the kvm-qemu ebuild from bug 157987.

The problem that emerge --emptytree world will not work when packages are compiled in different gcc versions. The kvm-qemu is not relevant if you don't have the hardware. One solution I saw is to compile gcc-3 as part of the qemu build process, and make the qemu use this gcc-3 instance. This way you can have qemu up and running while the system is configured for gcc-4. It is very disappointing that upstream does not allow gcc-4 configuration so long after gcc-4 release. Alon.

I suggest something like this: Get correct path of gcc-3 executable, then supply this with $CC to make. Code may look like this: # get last one of sorted list for t in $(ls -1 /usr/bin/gcc-3*|sort); do p=$t done einfo Using $p for compiling. emake CC=$p Matthias -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
