[gentoo-dev] GCC 4.6 unmasking

Now that I finally have some time for Gentoo.I'd like to get GCC 4.6 unmasked
sometime in the next month.  Thanks to everyone but me, we only have a few
bugs remaining on the tracker.  None of them I consider critical except maybe
mplayer (I'd like someone from media-video to look at applying that patch).
If you have any bugs open blocking the tracker, please take a look at them
soon.  If you have a 4.6-related bug that isn't blocking the tracker then
please add it, even if it's already fixed (the tracker is used to generate a
fixed-in-version list for the eventual stabilization).

If you have any issues with 4.6 itself or patches you need applied, now is
the time to speak up.

Tracker: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=gcc-4.6

There should be already a bug open about valgrind: even when _not_ using
DWARF-4 (which breaks binutils, btw) the new gcc uses new DWARF
instructions that are not supported even by the ~arch version. We need
either to get upstream to release a new version or we should patch
it/snapshot it.

Hmm, I don't see any bugs open that cover that.  The support is upstream
already? 

I think we should also consider bumping the minimum glibc version to 2.12
now that it's stable. I know it's a pain in the ass but anything older than
that just plain doesn't work anymore.

4.6.2 is now in the tree.  It will be unmasked next weekend.

Yeah I'm a tease.  Looks like we have enough issues that I want to do
another patchset.  We also have showstopper bugs in grub:0 and libmpeg2 that
need looking at.  As always, if your favorite package is on
https://bugs.gentoo.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=346809&hide_resolved=1
then it's time to get your ass in gear.
