Package: gcc-4.4
Version: 4.4.5-14
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

 When building gcc-4.4 cross and native for armhf we get a failure message:

gcc -c -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-qual -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -I. -Ibuild -I../../src/gcc -I../../src/gcc/build -I../../src/gcc/../include -I../../src/gcc/../libcpp/include  -I../../src/gcc/../libdecnumber -I../../src/gcc/../libdecnumber/dpd -I../libdecnumber  -I/include -DCLOOG_PPL_BACKEND   -o build/gencondmd.o build/gencondmd.c
In file included from build/gencondmd.c:44:0:
../../src/gcc/except.h:162:6: error: #error "Must use SJLJ exceptions but configured not to"
../../src/gcc/config/arm/arm.md:4509:8: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
make[4]: *** [build/gencondmd.o] Error 1

 I have not had time yet to find and test a fix. I am just noting the failure.

Best regards
