Since you need to build two compilers anyway (one for the current system, to build the new one, and one to live in the new one, linked against new libraries), I don't see that it's such a nasty hack.
The building itself is not a problem, of course, and it is even required if you want to update anything in the toolchain itself. However, we have added some custom #ifdef FREEBSD_NATIVE parts to support this feature, so you cannot use stock gcc source to build such a temporary compiler. This can be problematic if we ever want to be able to use toolchains outside of the source tree. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
