As far as I know, there's no new problems using 4.1 instead of 4.0. See http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-April/028894.html and test results for a gcc 4.2.0 build using this glibc build http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-April/028918.html > - libstdc++6 would need to conflict with libgcc2, which seems to be > doable, but then rules out g++-3.4 and g++-4.0 as a fallback > solution, where g++-4.1 fails. True. > - is libffi hit by the ABI change as well? No. It's not affected because it doesn't support complex types. I have one libffi fix that's not yet in 4.2.0 that fixes the remaining Java testsuite failures. I haven't tested a backport to 4.1. Dave -- J.
