[gentoo-dev] GCC 4.3 pre-stabilization

[gentoo-dev] GCC 4.3 pre-stabilization

In anticipation of getting GCC 4.3 stabilized sometime, I'd like to ask
maintainers check if their current stable packages build with 4.3, and
if not please stabilize a version that does in the near future if at
all possible.  Stabilizing this version is going to be a huge job due
to the number of packages that don't compile due to implicit C++
standard library header dependencies that got cleaned up in 4.3.[i], so
anything you could do ahead of time to save our sanity would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks, 
gcc-porting.

 Is there a bug that is blocked by such stabilisation requests?  We had
such a thing on the GCC 4 transition (apart from the normal porting
tracker) and was really handy.  I will rebuild three x86 systems (one
totally stable, two mostly) to check.

Thanks for the help. :)

What version is the candidate to reach stable? 4.3.2?

Thanks.

I don't know, that's up to the toolchain guys.  Probably the latest
version available when the tree is ready, which I'm expecting will take
quite some time.
