More egcs progress



Hi,

I've just uploaded another set of preliminary egcs packages to:

  ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/debian/netwinder/prelim/egcs/

(These are numbered -2.2)

Now, g++ mostly works.  I can do:

$ g++ helloworld.c -lpthead
$ ./a.out
Hello World!

It needs the -lpthread due to a bug - the pthread symbols should be
weak, but they aren't (as Philip noticed before).

In order to test it, I tried recompiling dpkg/dselect.  The resulting
dselect seemed to run just fine - it didn't segfault like the current
one.

I'll look at the pthread non-weak symbol thing this weekend.  If we
can get that figured out, and it passes a bit more testing
(eg. compiling a kernel), I'll upload it to master.

Cheers,

 - Jim
