FYI one of the patches for mksigtab.sh is already committed upstream. I'll send
the complete set of patches for gcc-8 in a separate mail to specifically gcc-
patches. The test results are even better than before, and some failures are
common to Linux. Hopefully upstream will accept the patches for GNU/Hurd this
time. And I hope you will include them in next snapshot of gcc-8 in the
meantime.
Looking at the build-depends of gcc-7, gcc-8-base is now a dependency. That
seems strange for me. Furthermore, in the changelogs of 7.3.0-2 and 7.3.0-3 you
write:
* Stop building more packages now built by gcc-8.
Which packages are referred to with the above line?
For example, building gcc-7 on GNU/Hurd:
--enable-languages=c,ada,c++,go,d,fortran,objc,obj-c++
and on gcc-8:
--enable-languages=c,ada,c++,go,d,fortran,objc,obj-c++
i.e. the same list!
With this in mind I don't understand the comment above nor the build-dependency
on gcc-8-base, which mailny gives the base directory structure for gcc-8??
Thanks!
