Hi,

Thanks for all of you gave me the help on making a binary from debian source 
package. I tried the instructions on the source package for gccchecker-0.9.9.1 
and the compilation works smoothly but the gccchecker got a segmentation error 
even for its own simple example included.

My question is:

Did anyone ever make gccchecker work in potato?
