Hello and apologies for the cross-post,
I've built GCC 4.9 on my PowerMac G5 (ppc64) running Debian 7.3. I'd like
to support the port of Debian to this platform using GCC 4.9 and would
appreciate a pointer on where to begin if possible.
Additionally, I could provide a SSH login to the machine.
Thanks,
Dave

sorry, can't help with this. setting up a pbuilder or sbuild, and start
building
packages from the base system?

I'm in the same boat as Patrick, except with a PowerMac G5. Please let us
know how to begin.
Thanks,

Hi Matthias et al,
I'd like to try to do some of this using my sparc box and see how far I
get. Is there a link that explains how to set up these steps? Others seem
to "just know" what to do, but I haven't the slightest idea of where to
begin. I have a box with gcc-4.9, plenty of disk space, and electricity
to burn. Where do I start?

With gcc-4.9 now available in testing, it is time to prepare for the
change of
the default to 4.9, for a subset of architectures or for all (release)
architectures. The defaults for the gdc, gccgo, gcj and gnat frontends
already
point to 4.9 and are used on all architectures. Issue #746805 tracks
the
gfortran default change, including the change of the Fortran 90 module
version
change.
The Debian archive was rebuilt twice on amd64, once in February,
resulting in
bug submissions for GCC and feedback for the porting guide [1], a second
time in
March to file issues for packages failing to build with GCC 4.9 [2].
Another
test rebuild for Ubuntu on amd64, i386, armhf, ppc64el didn't show any
other
compiler regressions on these architectures.
I would like to see some partial test rebuilds (like buildd or minimal
chroot
packages) for other architectures. Any possibility to setup such a test
rebuild
for some architectures by the porters? Afaics the results for the GCC
testsuite
look okish for every architecture.
I'll work on fixing the build failures in [2], help is of course
appreciated.
Almost all build failures are analyzed and should be easy to fix
(exceptions
e.g. #746883). Patches for the ones not caused by the Debian packaging
may be
found in distributions already using GCC 4.9 as the default compiler
(e.g.
Fedora 21).
If anything goes well, and a large amount of build failures are fixed, I
plan to
make GCC 4.9 the default for the C/C++/ObjC/Obj-C++ frontends at the end
of May,
beginning of June.
Bugs reports for packages building with a legacy version of GCC (4.6,
4.7, 4.8)
will be filed.
