After fixing these problems in libunwind, I can successfully run "make check" in libunwind: PASS: test-proc-info PASS: test-static-link PASS: test-strerror PASS: Gtest-bt PASS: Ltest-bt PASS: Gtest-exc PASS: Ltest-exc PASS: Gtest-init PASS: Ltest-init PASS: Gtest-concurrent PASS: Ltest-concurrent PASS: Gtest-resume-sig PASS: Ltest-resume-sig PASS: Gtest-dyn1 PASS: Ltest-dyn1 PASS: test-async-sig PASS: test-flush-cache PASS: test-init-remote PASS: test-mem PASS: test-setjmp PASS: test-ptrace PASS: Gia64-test-stack PASS: Lia64-test-stack PASS: Gia64-test-nat PASS: Lia64-test-nat PASS: Gia64-test-rbs PASS: Lia64-test-rbs PASS: Gia64-test-readonly PASS: Lia64-test-readonly PASS: ia64-test-setjmp PASS: ia64-test-sig PASS: run-check-namespace PASS: run-ptrace-mapper PASS: run-ptrace-misc PASS: run-ia64-test-dyn1 =================== All 35 tests passed =================== That's great! First time this happens! So, I think we have two options: (1) leave GCC package as it is and make a libunwind v0.98.4 release which fixes the above-mentioned problems (2) change GCC package to include the libunwind version from the libunwind package I think (1) makes more sense _provided_ that in the not too distant future, we can fix the packaging such that /lib/libunwind.so.7 is provided by the libunwind package. Without that, gdb won't be able to unwind dynamically generated code and, IIRC, there are additional gcj failures, which starts to matter, now that gij is being used for providing Java applet functionality inside ia64 browsers. --david
