Re: Bug#148651: gcc 3.1-2 patch breaks binutils builds

[Jack Howarth <howarth@bromo.msbb.uc.edu>]

Martin,
    As I said in my previous message, we are NOT losing __cxa_atexit.
By dropping the current patch we are using the __cxa_atexit
provided by glibc >= 2.2 instead of the one provided by gcc itself.
That is what HJ and Jakub are trying to make debian understand.
The using gcc to provide  __cxa_atexit is totally unneccessary with
the newer glibc's. If we want to be difficult we can keep the patch
but I think we are on our own in fixing the conflict between the
gcc provided __cxa_atexit and binutils. The only reason to keep the
patch is if we had an OS which didn't provide __cxa_atexit through
glibc (i.e. one that used an alternative to glibc for its libc or
was using glibc < 2.2).
                            Jack
