However, none of your messages actually report any bugs. You just claim that bugs exist and propose solutions for them. Your proposed solutions involve a redesign of gcc, are highly controversial, and very unlikely to be adopted anytime soon. Thus I am in a position where I can't fix anything because I don't have anything to work with. As I understand it, glibc needs to know about frame_object which is a gcc internal variable. The gcc hackers didn't know about this until you pointed it out. frame_object had to be changed in gcc to support the Intel defined IA-64 exception handling model. Thus glibc will have to be changed to match the gcc changes. I see nothing in gcc to fix. Since I'm not doing glibc work, you need to report this to one of the glibc maintainers, e.g. Jes or Ulrich, and ask them to fix glibc. Perhaps this work has already been done for glibc 2.2, I don't know. If so, then there is nothing left to fix. glibc 2.1.3 and the current FSF gcc sources would still be broken, but it has never been anyone's intent to make that work. You should be using the February (000216) release with glibc 2.1.3. Jim
