Compiling 2.4.1-preX series

Compiling 2.4.1-preX series

[Shawn Starr]

Which compiler will compile the 2.4.1-preX series? Since 2.4.0, my
GCC 2.95.2 patched with PGCC 2.95.3 (which creates pgcc-2.95.2) refuses
to compile any versions after this. Which is the next stable and binary
compatable compiler?

Anyone have any suggestions? I dont wish to use the development
GCC 2.96/2.97 because they will break my binary compatability with
pgcc-2.95.2/3.

Thanks,

Shawn Starr.

Yes, it's simple you want the real gcc 2.96/2.97 or egcs-1.1.2. pgcc
is not supported.

Fair enough, but something in bugs.h changed from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1-preX and
broke my GCC, I shall recompile GCC with no PGCC patches however if this
happens still then there's a problem somewhere.

I dont know what FXSR is but there was no problem in 2.4.0 with this.

Re: Compiling 2.4.1-preX series - Confirmed - PGCC sucks

[Shawn Starr]

Yes, it appears the PGCC patches *BREAK* GCC (go figure). 2.4.1-pre7 compiled
fine. JUST as pre8 was released *sigh*
oh well, at least now I wont have to worry about any compiler bugs (unless
some are discovered with 2.95.2) ;)
