Janne Blomqvist <jb at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX --- Comment #2 from Janne Blomqvist <jb at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-03-01 11:50:33 UTC --- Yes, I'm leaning that way as well. FWIW, from looking at commit logs and old mails, it seems 1.4 was added due to some confusion with symbol versioning and ABI compatibility. In any case, closing as wontfix. If anyone comes up with a convincing argument why this should be fixed, please reopen (and, be quick about it as 4.6 is going to be released quite soon I think, and after that we certainly can't remove a symbol node in a released branch).
