Can somebody look for this?
older versions are provided for convenience and nothing more. if you want a version guaranteed to work, use the latest stable.
@pavel What I read on the web it seems we need a much older glibc to build GCC 2.95 which seems quite risky to me. I managed to build 3.2.3-r4 with GCC 3.4.6 though (in case you are looking for any pre-3.3.6 version) like this: $ gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6 ; source /etc/profile <set working CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf, e.g. CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" > $ emerge =sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r4 $ gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 ; source /etc/profile # restore Sebastian
known issue -- gcc-2 will not build on NPTL systems due to magic in the internal pthread headers
No way are we going to fix gcc-2. If you want to use it, you are expected to understand what is implied.
