Package: gcc
Version: 4:3.3.3-3
Severity: important
[ Marked as important since this vile wrapper has permeated testing
already. ]
/usr/bin/gcc on the sparc architecture is really a link to a C wrapper
that calls gcc-3.3 with either -m64 or -m32 depending on the native
architecture, sparc64 or sparc32 respectively.
This is well intended, but the leading issue with this is that mklibs
will try to reduce 32-bit libraries in a 64-bit way, and cause it to
require an invocation under 'sparc32' for it to work right now.
It also caused many problems with some of the assumptions I made with my
kernel packages because it set its own compiler flags silently and I
hadn't found out. Some objects would get compiled as 64-bit objects on a
32-bit build (no idea why, since it is supposed to pass -m32), but after
I removed the gcc-wrapper diversion everything worked.
I suggest that this wrapper be removed as it does more harm than good,
and people who are interested in 64-bit libraries for SPARC are probably
able to figure out the compiler flags themselves.

Hi,
the consensus seems to be that while things aren't perefect, there's
no bug in the gcc package here, so I close this.
