Hi all, I've prepared gcc 4.3.0 for the x86_64 platform in testing: - kernel-headers updated to 2.6.24.3 - glibc patched with some upstream CVS patches borrowed from gentoo - binutils rebuilt with gcc 4.3 and glibc 2.7-8 - gcc-libs updated to 4.3.0 - gcc updated to 4.3.0 and patched to support gcj without installing/building it (gcc should be able to build java files when gcj is installed now) - removed gcc-fortran provides from gcc-libs, as we had a sobump - changed gcc-gcj to upstream tarballs instead of Ubuntu branch - rebuilt gjdoc which is a native java program - updated java-gcj-compat - rebuilt all fortran applications against new gcc-libs and changed dependencies In the meanwhile, I found out one big change: gcc 4.3 doesn't include C functions anymore when including c++ includes. This breaks a horrible amount of packages, but fixing is easy: Whenever there's a missing function, look it up in its manpage: strcpy: man 3 strcpy, look for include, which will be <string.h> in this case. As we're using C++ now and want a C include, this will become #include <cstring> without the .h and a c prepended. As gcc 4.3 should be backwards compatible with 4.2 (except for libgcj and libgfortran sonames), I don't think there's much trouble moving these packages to core and extra. I'd like to have these merged after Tobias has finished our ISOs (and we have enough signoffs), as I don't want to make big changes right before a release.
