RE: Compiling libstdc++-2.90.7 on Solaris 7


Understand I'm not trying to pick on you guys.  On the one hand, it seems
all the world is Linux, and nobody really pays enough attention to the
*BSDs.  On the other hand, you have lots of work to do, and I'm sure you
just don't have time to track down the idiosyncrasies of every system. :-)

However, I understand that you have a lot of work to do and not enough time
to do it, because I am in the same place.  I don't have time to track down
and fix these things myself.

I can, however, arrange access to both FreeBSD and NetBSD boxes, if someone
wanted to take a quick stab at some diagnosis of the porting issues.  FWIW,
fixing these things on one version of BSD will probably go most of the
distance to fixing them on all BSDs.

If you want me to do it, I'll need a FreeBSD or NetBSD box, or access to
one. And allocated time to work on it. Since that possibility is pretty
remote, I suggest you submit fixes. . .

:(

Assuming glibc and egcs-2.95.2, the port would seemingly be minimal. I
don't understand why recent *BSD's don't really work out of the box, or
why people seem to have so many problems with the wchar_t stuff, but I
can't really do anything except wave my hands right now. . .
