gfortran nightly builds / i686 nightly build

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi all,

as FX's build script for x86 (i686) Linux seemingly ceased working
on 21 October, I started building also for x86 (32bit, i686) Linux.

More to this, see below.

The current build status is: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries

- x86-64-linux: Almost daily build of 4.2, 4.3 and trunk (4.4) by me
- i686-linux:   21 October 2008 build by FX
                Almost daily VirtualBox-based trunk builds by me
- Mac OS X (Intel): 06 Oct 2008  by FX
- Mac OS X (PPC):   23 Aug 2008  by FX
                    Dominique has offered to take over
                    (and has FX's build scripts)
- Cygwin (32bit): 18 Nov 2008 by Jerry
- Mingw (32bit):  03 Jun 2008
- Mingw64:        21 Apr 2008

We should try to get newer Windows builds - esp. newer Mingw(64) builds.
Having an updated MacOS/Intel build would be great too.

(If someone could give me a simple howto, I might be able to also generate
the Windows builds somehow (either cross compilation or in a VirtualBox),
but I have no Windows building experience.)

Regarding my i686 builds:

The builds are come with C, C++ and Fortran and are build
with Graphite support (and thus with the PPL/CLOOG libaries).
The tar ball is available at
  http://users.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/gcc-trunk/i686/

I just saw that libppl_c requires GLIBC_2.4; is this a problem?
(glibc 2.4 was released about 3 years ago, current is 2.9.)

Same is actually true for my x86-64-linux builds. In how far this
is a problem for you?

(Building with glibc 2.4 would be quite difficult; the oldest
supported version of my distro comes with glibc 2.5. Probably,
I had to install Debian stable, which has still an old glibc
- at least my university's "etch" installation has 2.3.6.)

PS: There was a bug in the build script; for today's build
you need to run:
  mv gcc-trunk/lib/libppl_c.so.2{.,}
