Hi all,
There are two platforms on which mainline is broken:
* bootstrap is broken for i386-netbsd, see PR30058
* the compiler built on i386-mingw32 is unusable, see PR30589
Both regressions were introduced by Geoffrey Keating
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-11/msg00003.html) in a "C99
extern inline" patch. Fixincludes were then created for glibc systems.
In both cases, I'm ready to debug (I attached the full preprocessed
source of minimal examples to both PR) and test patches, but I simply
don't know whom I should ping to get bootstrap working again:
Geoffrey, who introduced the change that broke so many platforms, or
the maintainers for these branches? (it might be worth noting at that
point that netbsd doesn't have a maintainer listed)
There has been some amount of chatting recently about the development
plan for GCC, and I think we can all agree that having broken
bootstrap for months on some platform don't help us get more testing
:)
Thanks for helping me understand the workings of the GCC community,
FX
