Bugzilla Bug 140707

This bug will be used to track packages whose stable versions don't work with
GCC 4.1.x.  In most cases a patch, version bump, or other fix is available in
~arch, and a request will be filed to either backport the fix or stablize a
working version.

These arches have GCC 4.1.1 in testing:
amd64, mips, ppc64, s390, x86, x86-fsbd

If you know that any of these arches aren't planning on getting 4.1 stable any
time soon make a note.  

hppa and ppc already have 4.1.1 stable :p.

All of the packages from 138099 need to go stable for GCC 4.1.1

Also, dev-libs/gmp-4.2.1 and dev-libs/mpfr-2.2.0_p10 will need to go stable...

Well, amd64 and x86 are planning on taking 4.1.1 stable by the 2006.1 release,
which isn't that far away.

bug #140905 is not finally fixed, there are still issues with dietlibc and GCC
4.1 on some arches...resolution later.

kind of off topic, but i would _really_ like to see the gcc-4.1.1.ebuild DEPEND
on binutils-2.17 which adds support for .weakref[i] and properly handles
-msecure-pit on PPC32.

if we really wanted to get crazy, i would say minimum 2.17.50.0.3 for the new
--hash-style support[ii] and the MIPS MFTGPR and MTTGPR fixes, but i'm not
holding my breath on this one. ;d

[ii] http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-06/msg00418.html

that's up to the ppc team if they want to force binutils-2.17

as for the snapshots, not a chance

does the gcc migration doc need to be updated at all?

 Don't think so...worked fine here when using the "generic guide".

i just finished working through everything on bug #117482 (except games-*). 
anything not working on stable should now have a bug here.  between the two i
think this should pretty much cover it (for x86 at least). :)

Can someone with permission please add a dependency on bug #132667 (qemu not
compiling with gcc-4.1.*.

Thanks.

 It already blocks the gcc porting bug.  This bug here is for stabilisation
requests.
