gcc-3.2 -> gcc-3.3 transition on hppa



AFAIK the transition from 3.2 to 3.3 requires recompilation of C++
code due to the changed exception handling (now DWARF2 based). As
libstdc++ in 3.2 and 3.2 have the same soname, how to handle it?
Currently 3.2 is in unstable only. Would you want to start the
recompilation before 3.2 based binaries go to testing?

The packaging for 3.3 can be found in the Debian CVS. Currently, the
following libstdc++ packages are built:

	libstdc++5
	libstdc++5-3.3-dbg
	libstdc++5-3.3-pic
	libstdc++5-3.3-dev

The packages are renamed from the 3.2 based packages to allow
non-conflicting installation of gcc-3.2 and gcc-3.3. Keeping the
libstdc++5 name works for all archs, which do not change in
configuration between 3.2 and 3.3. So what to do on hppa?

m68k's 3.3 is configured to use sjlj exceptions (same as 3.2), so this
is now problem.
