How is this done, when the gcc-4.1 source package appears to incorporate various updates from svn into the actual tarball being distributed? Doesn't this imply that gcj-4.1 and gcc-4.1 will need to be updated in lockstep? > java-gcj-compat > gcc-defaults > ecj-bootstrap > gjdoc The rest of these have all been updated (I assume -- they're not all frozen, so I think some of them went in on their own?). > - alpha: #390982, bus errors in the interpreter, doesn't show any > build issues, status of the runtime is rather unknown. Falk? Bus errors on alpha are always non-fatal; all they do is dump errors to the kernel log. (This is also the default on hppa, but on alpha it's not even possible to get SIGBUS except with a kernel patch.) > - arm: debian only port, not yet submitted to upstream; runtime is > currently non-functional, testsuite shows failures for all > interpreter test cases. > #388505: segfaults in gcj-dbtool-4.1, not addressed. > Going back to gcj-4.0 for arm could be an alternative, at least simple > programs did compile to native code and run sucessfully.

Could Andrew be correct that this is a sign of an improved testsuite, not a regression in the functionality for arm? A build failure on arm is also the only thing keeping this updated version of gcj-4.1 from being hinted into testing, though that seems to have been an OOD error on the buildd; given back now. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
