[gentoo-dev] gcc-3.0.2-based system

[Grant Goodyear <grant@g2.ces.clemson.edu>]

I'm currently in the middle of "emerge system" with my new gcc-3.0.2-
based system, and so far I haven't encountered any problems.

Here's what I did to bootstrap w/ gcc 3.0.2:

1.  Remove the ">=gcc-3.26" line from package.mask.

2.  Update the gcc and binutils lines in /etc/make.profile/packages:

*>=sys-apps/baselayout-1.6.4
*>=sys-apps/portage-1.6.10
*=sys-devel/binutils-2.11.90.0.7
*=sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r5
*=sys-libs/glibc-2.2.4-r2 
>=sys-apps/sysklogd-1.4-r6

3.  Update the gcc and binutils lines in /usr/portage/files/boot*:

>=sys-apps/baselayout-1.6.4
>=sys-apps/portage-1.6.6
=sys-libs/glibc-2.2.4-r2
=sys-devel/binutils-2.11.90.0.7
=sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r5
=sys-devel/gettext-0.10.39-r1

(In the future I think this file should just have the names of the packages,
with the versions obtained from /etc/make.profile/packages.  Incidentally,
the bootstrap.sh script parses the file for texinfo, which, of course, 
isn't there.)

4.  Edit the glibc-2.2.4-r2 ebuild to add a "--disable-sanity-checks" option
to configure:

	try ../configure --host=${CHOST} --without-cvs \
		--enable-add-ons=linuxthreads \
		--disable-profile --prefix=/usr \
		--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
		--disable-sanity-checks ${myconf}

If other people would test this, I would be grateful!
