(Was: re: gcc 2.8) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Speaking of upgrading the compiler, what are the chances of upgrading the binutils to 2.9.1 (at least for the ELF bits) in -current? I mention this, because as I was trying to compile koffice, I could reliably segfault as (2.8.1 from -current), which would in turn nicely knonk out egcs (and the rest of the build process). Using the version of gas that came with binutils 2.9.1 (configured for an i586-unknown-freebsdelf system) seems to have solved my problems. Also, the building of gas from the -current sources seems to ignore CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS), but not CC/CXX. Should I open a pr for these and other minor stuff like this? - alex | "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern | | technology.
