Thanks

amd64: you can skip .16.62 since iirc it didn't compile or something on your arch

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-11-08 17:04:56 UTC]

Um. Why? :)

Because you have .25.14 stable.
Oh, and you don't need to do .16.62 :)

Let's put it clear:
=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.16.62
Arches: ppc ppc64
=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.25.19
Arches: alpha amd64 hppa ppc ppc64

2.6.25.19 does not compile on alpha:

  CC      arch/alpha/kernel/traps.o

and the same is true for 2.6.16.62:

The former is with gcc-4.3.2, the latter with 4.2.4

[Comment 5 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2008-11-09 19:07:41 UTC]

2.6.25.19 compiles fine with gcc 4.2, so I guess it's a gcc 4.3 related bug (or 4.2 is simply more lenient). What do the kernel guys suggest?

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-11-10 04:14:54 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 7 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2008-11-12 05:41:17 UTC]

Marked ppc/ppc64 stable.

[Comment 8 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2008-12-14 12:33:35 UTC]

Kernel, what do you suggest we do about the gcc errors mentioned in comment #4 ?

[Comment 9 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2008-12-14 12:42:17 UTC]

Nevermind me. Both stable on alpha.
