In sid, libgcc2 is provided by gcc-4.4, which FTBFS. That's rumored to be due to a bad debian patch, but I haven't tried to isolate it yet. > This means we have to do a binNMU of libc6, which is going to be fun. libc6 2.5-11 is the latest that builds for m68k. After that came TLS and major breakage. Anyway, gcc-4.4 is the answer to libgcc2. That's also what kills build-essential. > How do we proceed? Fixing gcc-4.4 is pretty much mandatory.

Hints are welcome). I need to do the same thing on zlin2, something kicked build-essential out somehow. dports has weekly snapshots at [0]. I think judicious selection from there should work, but I haven't tried yet. [0] http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-snapshot/ Peace, Stephen -- Stephen R.
