No, it won't be fixed in the official gcc-2.95.3, cause the release manager
Bernd Schmidt rejected my patch because of the possible implications for
other platforms. It is fixed in my Linux/PPC RPM's since about a year, and
accordingly in the update RPM's for LinuxPPC and YDL. Suse is fixed too, I
think since around mid-last-year. Somehow Debian slipped through, but I
have been in contact with Daniel Jacobowitz, and I think he will upgrade
the Debian package soon (or he already has?).
My current diff against the GCC CVS gcc-2_95-branch (which will become the
official 2.95.3) can be found at
<ftp://devel.linuxppc.org:21/users/fsirl/cvs-2_95-branch-ppc.diff>, I just
updated it with a fix for the loop bug uncovered by some MPEG player.
gcc-3.0pre (PPC RPM's soon to come) already has all the fixes, so with 3.0
we all will be in sync again.
Franz.
