I started to try this but gave up quite quickly; the problem seems to be more related to new versions of binutils than the newer gcc. I forward ported about 5 changes before I gave up. The ucontext change is quite trivial ... see attached. I just applied it straight to my sys/ucontext.h and I'm up and running :) If I built libc in a stable chroot (i.e. the older toolchain) with this patch would that help anyone? > If it does require significant fixes, perhaps you could suggest to the > release team that ia64 be dropped from consideration for packages migrating > to "testing". That's the only other way I can see to avoid tying most > of the C++ transition to the glibc transition (which is clearly a bad idea). It seems that the modern toolchain has left the old glibc versions too far behind to bother with updating. Maybe having the glibc transistion go hand in hand with the C++ transision is just something we'll have to put up with. -i ianw@gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au
