At the risk of annoying you Red Hat Linux guys ( and Linux people in general
) you may be surprised to hear that there are problems for UNIX(tm) users
out there. Now I have tried and failed to get a successful bootstrap build
of GCC 4.2.2 on Solaris 8 ( Sparc or x86 ) and on Solaris 10. When I look at
the Build status page I see no one has posted a result there for GCC 4.2.2 :
Please see : http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/buildstat.html
I was able to get a decent build with GCC 4.2.1 however :
And see : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2007-08/msg00318.html
Exact same machine with exact same environment can not build GCC 4.2.2.
Now then, you seem to be discussing GCC 4.3 when GCC 4.2.x still does not
build correctly on a highly standards compliant UNIX platform. Am I reading
this correctly ? If not .. then please educate me if you can. I would like
to at least see GCC 4.2.2 bootstrap out of the box before flailing forwards
to GCC 4.3.x.
