Hi, I have made the PGCC 2.95.1 port and tried to compile the new stable system
with it. Before I get flamed for this, I know that the sources are still made
for the 2.7 GCC compiler. I was wondering when many of the discrepencies would
be worked out in the source code. There are some simple things that prevent a
successful build under any EGCS version, for example in
/usr/src/contrib/gnu/libg++/libg++/src/ACG.cc, the variable
randomStateTable[][3] is simply defined as type 'static' rather than 'static
int'. This causes trouble on the compilation unless it is fixed. There are some
other problems too. If I have a lot of time, I can compile some sources under
GCC 2.95 and others under 2.7 when I absolutely can't fix them or don't feel
like fixing them. Is 4.0-CURRENT expected to be GCC 2.95 'compliant'?
