Patch to known bugs web pages
- To: <gcc-patches at gcc dot gnu dot org>
- Subject: Patch to known bugs web pages
- From: "Joseph S. Myers" <jsm28 at cam dot ac dot uk>
- Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 17:07:00 +0000 (GMT)
This patch updates the known bugs information on the GCC web pages: for
Known bugs, index.html ought to link to bugs.html#known; bugs.html
shouldn't link back to the old faq.html#bugreport URL; the glibc 2.2 and
PINE on Solaris bugs deserve a mention as frequently reported. OK to
commit?
(Someone ought to add information on in what versions the PINE on Solaris
bug will be fixed. If a patch is available it would be a good idea for it
to be fixed in GCC 2.95.3.)
