I have uploaded the gcc-4.7 toolchain to [testing].
gcc-4.7.0-1 - upstream update - default linker hash style is "gnu" (we can now remove that from LDFLAGS in makepkg.conf) - soname bump for libobjc (rebuild done)
binutils-2.22-5 - new upstream snapshot
linux-api-headers-3.3-1 - upstream update
glibc-2.15-8 - install timezone binaries (removed from tzdata)
tzdata-2012b-2 - use binaries from glibc
libtool-2.4.2-5 - rebuild
As usual with major gcc updates, don't expect packages built against the new toolchain to work with the old one... (especially c++ software).
I am quite happy this is working well (I am ~1/3 of the way through rebuilding [core] and have seen no failures so far), but there are a couple of minor test-suite issues I will investigate further. So this will be in [testing] for the usual couple of weeks.
FYI: these are the new build failures in [core] with this toolchain:
iptables: /usr/include/linux/if_packet.h:176:2: error: unknown type name '__aligned_u64'
A fixed package is in [testing] now. Ronald
