Well, the terrible happened. The entire eh handling in gcc-3 branch changed, and the libgcc soname didn't. So basically all C++ applications will break. I tried to get the soname to change, but no luck.
I don't much care how this affects most ports (the ones not using it yet). I'm mostly worried about hppa (mips better hold off switching till I get the latest CVS built, after the eh merge). Matt, how much C++ stuff would you guys have to rebuild given this problem? How much of a hassle is it? According to the gcc guys I talked to, this is the big and final ABI change to libgcc. After this it will remain stable (shoot me now). Can hppa just bite the bullet, except my appology for forcing the upstream soname, and start rebuilding C++ apps once I can get this new set of packages built? Also, I have the 5-10-2001 checkout ready to upload...does anyone want it now, or should I just scrap it and hold off for this next upload with the eh changes?
