The last discussions I had with the kernel maintainers showed that there was no patch available yet that securely implemented the 486 instruction in emulation that's needed by the new C++ ABI (as opposed to the known, tested instruction emulation needed by glibc). > I send this message to debian-release in hopes that someone will pay > some attention, since the debian-kernel list apparently doesn't care > about the upgrade-i386 problem. I know several of the subscribers care, but what's needed now is a sound kernel patch, not kernel packages dropped from above. Also, FWIW, the kernels you provided were based on the existing sources in woody. I believe (and the kernel folks I've talked to seem to agree) that it would be better if the upgrade-i386 directory could be based on kernel sources matching what we ship in sarge, since the two dists will have to be maintained in parallel for sarge's lifetime. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
