I'm not sure what's the best place is to add this. Jakub, is the
following correct, you know the issues better than I do? Joseph, can
you add it at an appropriate place, please?
* Compilation of GLIBC with GCC 3.0
At this point Glibc and GCC are out of synch since the latest
exception handling changes for GCC. Compiling glibc with the GCC 3.0
will cause lots of problems and might make your system unstable. This
will definitly need fixes in glibc but might also need fixes in GCC.
We strongly advise to wait for glibc 2.2.4 and to read the release
notes of glibc 2.2.4 whether patches for GCC 3.0 are needed.
Thanks,
Andreas
