Of course, it would be nice if reporters could double check that on
those machines gcc4.1.0 behaves the same.
I can confirm that the abi_check failure has gone away now that I have
generated the de_DE locale.
Many thanks.
This makes me wonder, though, whether GCC could check whether the
de_DE locale exists on the system and if not skips the abi_check test
since it'll only give misleading results in that case.
I see your point, and indeed we are planning improvements in that area.
However, believe me, the issue is not that simple because there are
zillions of different configurations which lead to seemingly
incompatible symbols, it's not just matter of checking whether the
locale model is "right"... And of course it's more general than
abi-check, long term we do not want to rely on de_DE being installed to
figure out the appropriate locale model.
Thanks,
Paolo.
