gcc-defaults, gcc-3.3, gcc-3.4 for testing
gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 were addressed in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/03/msg00027.html
the gcc-3.3 changes (compared to -8) include two m68k specific fixes
concerning wrong generation of code, and one hppa64 related update
(PR19697). more on the other noise in the update in a separate
message.
the "interesting" gcc-3.4 changes (compared to -6), affecting libgcc1,
include an update of libunwind to version 0.98.4 (Fix a typo in
_ReadSLEB.c which caused hangs when throwing exceptions from Intel
ICC-compiled programs). All other changes relate to binary packages,
which are not used by default.
gcc-defaults, currently in incoming, not yet built for arm, adds a new
convenience package libgcj-dev, which makes dependencies for depending
packages easier to manage. Packages using gcj -C (byte compiling)
should (build-)depend on gcj, packages compiling to native code,
should (build-)depend on libgcj-dev. surprised by the speed this new
binary package entered unstable, it should go to testing as well not
to block other packages now depending on it.
Thanks, Matthias
