Now that gcc-4.1.1 is stable (on x86 at least), all installed programs should
be marked stable, too, I guess.

Unfortunately, the latest x86 stable sys-kernel/linux-headers is 2.6.11-r5
which is problematic at least for programs linking against it, for instance:

In file included from /usr/include/linux/i2c-dev.h:29,
                 from hd44780-i2c.c:63:
/usr/include/linux/i2c.h:66: error: array type has incomplete element type

You can also try running gcc on that .h file alone to produce the same error.

As for me, sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.17 works fine in this matter and this
is only consistent with current gentoo-sources. Shouldn't this be stabilized?

2.6.17-r1 stable on x86, thanks.

While this problem is fixed for x86 and ppc64, it still exists for arches that
have >=gcc-4 stable:
* amd64
* ppc

Please stabilize it there, if possible.

you cant expect arches to stabilize if you dont cc them

ppc told me only the assignee can cc them.

amd64 done.

2.6.19.2-r2 sparc stable, however this is still masked in current stable
(2006.*) profiles since we won't unleash gcc4 until 2007.0.
