Once more, a bootstrap on sparc-sun-solaris2.8 failed for me today, and
while investigating, I noticed the following lines in my build log:
configure: warning: ***********************************************************
configure: warning: ***********************************************************
configure: warning: This is beta code. If you're looking for a stable release
configure: warning: then use the most recent one - libffi-1.20.
configure: warning: ***********************************************************
configure: warning: ***********************************************************
I consider this inappropriate for a (soon to be) released version of GCC.
Either we have to use a stable version of libffi or, if we need to use a
snapshot, we should disable this warning.
Regular users of GCC should *not* be exposed to such warnings, IMHO.
