Bug#203840: Need newer gcc 3.3 branch version to fix important ICE on IA64
Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:2.2.1ds2-0rc2
Severity: important
Justification: breaks lots of software builds
There's an ICE building ARTS on ia64, which holds up all of KDE among many
other things. It probably affects other software on IA64 as well. This is
fixed on the gcc-3.3 branch in GCC CVS, but this fix is not present in the
version noted above.
See
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11641
and
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10681
-- you can if you prefer lift the patches listed there and apply them to the
existing GCC tarball.
Don't expect a new official release candidate tarball any time soon; GCC
3.3.1 release is being held up by the FSF for non-technical reasons, so it
could be delayed a long time.
