Re: does libc5.4.7 compatible with netscape 3.0



Yet another problem with libc5.4.7-- but only if we back out to the  
previous stable version.

Specifically;  the latest cpp and gcc packages [the ones on which I based  
my objc-compatible gcc/cpp packages] REQUIRE libc5.4.7.  So, backing out on  
5.4.7 will likely require backing out to gcc 2.7.2.1-1 (instead of  
2.7.2.1-2).

I am in the process of taking over the gcc [and gdb] package[s] from the  
current maintainer, so will need to make a decision based on community  
desires.

How to procede?

[Karl Sackett has been putting together a complete set of gnustep debian  
packages for community consumption.  Unfortunately, as it stands, the  
compiler consistently crashes when attempting to optimize certain pieces of  
code.  Looks like I picked the *wrong* time to start maintaining gcc... oh  
well, off to an intense session with gdb, I suppose].

I agree it should be on rex, but just recompiling doesn't work. As I
already said here, I compiled wdiff with gcc 2.7.2.1 and it still
segfaults.
