I've just pruned a few gcc ebuilds from the tree but we could stand to remove a few more in order to make general bug maintenance easier. (current count is 21 down from 30) We would like to remove gcc-3.3.[23]-r[0-5] and aim to get the <=gcc-3.4.0 down to one or two builds per gnu major/minor versions. x86, amd64, mips, sparc: Please try to mark gcc-3.3.4-r1 alpha: If your stuck in gcc-3.2/3.3 series can you please test and mark gcc-3.3.2-r7 stable. hppa: Is your arch stuck at gcc-3.3.2? If not try to mark something latter not in the range of gcc-3.3.[23]-r[0-5] as stable. s390: The gcc-3.4.x branch should treat you well. (this arch might be lacking any maintainers and may have to be dropped in the future) ppc64: Please test and mark gcc-3.4.1-r2 stable and remove gcc-3.4.1 when your done. ---- Arches please close any open toolchain bugs which can be resolved by upgrading gcc for your arch. http://tinyurl.com/647of Current KEYWORDS: gcc-2.95.3-r8.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc alpha" gcc-3.1.1-r2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 sparc -ppc" gcc-3.2.3-r4.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc mips alpha -hppa ia64 s390" gcc-3.3.1-r5.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* ~x86 ~mips ~sparc amd64 ia64" gcc-3.3.2-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* ~x86 ~mips ~sparc ~amd64 -hppa ~ia64" gcc-3.3.2-r2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* ~x86 ~mips ~sparc amd64 -hppa alpha ia64" gcc-3.3.2-r3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* ~x86 ~mips ~sparc ~amd64 -hppa ~alpha ~ia64" gcc-3.3.2-r4.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~x86 mips ~sparc ~amd64 -hppa ~alpha ~ia64" gcc-3.3.2-r5.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 mips ~sparc ~amd64 -hppa alpha -ia64 ppc64" gcc-3.3.2-r7.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~x86 ~mips ~sparc ~amd64 -hppa ~alpha ~ia64 ~ppc64" gcc-3.3.2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* hppa" gcc-3.3.3-r3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~x86 ~sparc ~mips ~alpha arm -hppa ~amd64 -ia64 ~ppc64 s390" gcc-3.3.3-r5.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* -hppa arm ~x86 ~sparc ~amd64" gcc-3.3.3-r6.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 amd64 mips" gcc-3.3.3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~x86 mips sparc amd64 -hppa ~alpha -ia64 ~ppc64 s390" gcc-3.3.3_pre20040408-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* ppc64 ppc" gcc-3.3.3_pre20040426.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* ~ppc64 ~ppc" gcc-3.3.4-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-hppa ~x86 ~amd64 ~mips arm ~sparc" gcc-3.3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* amd64 ~ia64" gcc-3.4.1-r2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* amd64 ~mips ~ppc64 ~x86 -hppa ~ppc" gcc-3.4.1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* ~x86 ~mips -hppa amd64 ppc64"
Not sure that sparc is ready to move 3.3.4 stable yet... Upstream tell us we're supposed to use 3.3.3 for kernel building. OTOH, I haven't personally had any problems with 3.3.4.
I'm running a few more tests on gcc-3.3.4-r1 this week, so far so good for everything. I wanna do an extra packagecd build before going stable. After that i feel confident about it. gcc-sparc64-3.3.4 worksforme, but i rather see other sparc devels experiences before saying anything.
3.3.4-r1 stable on amd64, though it soon-ish wont be the default compiler. :)
Note to comment 2: Gustavo, as we discussed on IRC, gcc-3.3.4-r1 is doing fine for me on both sparc64 and spar32. For what it's worth, my versions are all built USE='hardened'.
3.3.4-r1 stable on x86
mips is looking at gcc-3.4.x for stabilization, however our only hold up is gcc-3.4.x does not produce bootable kernels. Probably just a small kernel patch is all that is needed. gcc-3.4.x is needed to build functional userland binaries on SGI Origin systems.
gcc-3.3.4-r1 sparc stable, run for the hills!
currently, all varieties of 3.3.3, 3.3.4, 3.4.0, and 3.4.1 bomb on ia64 ... either they fail to compile or they dont work properly after building
Do we have more than 1 maintaier of ia64?
Perhaps 3.4.2 will be better for ia64 Changes from 3.4.1 include. IA64-specific * 16130 ICE on valid code: in bundling, in config/ia64/ia64.c (-mtune=merced) * 16142 ICE on valid code: in bundling, in config/ia64/ia64.c (-mtune=itanium) * 16278 Gcc failed to build Linux kernel with -mtune=merced * 16414 ICE on valid code: typo in comparison of asm_noperands result * 16445 ICE on valid code: don't count ignored insns * 16490 ICE (segfault) while compiling with -fprofile-use * 16683 ia64 does not honor SUBTARGET_EXTRA_SPECS http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html#3.4.2
gcc-3.4.1-r3.ebuild is stable on ppc64 We have no requirements or dependancies on older version of gcc.
3.3.5 shows promise of working on ia64. this will be re-opened when it looks like we can remove previous 3.3 ebuilds and have all archs on 3.3.5 or 3.4.3.
