Re: crosstool-0.26 and gcc-3.3.2 patches

Hi, Dan.  I've just downloaded crosstool-0.26, and I've started looking
at bringing my uClibc patches over to it.  Before tackling crosstool
itself, I first wanted to get straight everything that is under the
patches subdirectory.

I noticed that you populated patches/gcc-3.3.2, yet there are three
patches from patches/gcc-3.3.1 that applied cleanly to my gcc-3.3.2
source tree, but are not present under patches/gcc-3.3.2.

These would be: compat.exp.patch, config.sub.patch, and pr11587.patch.
I was just wondering what the stories with these three are.  Had you
done some research and found that the problems they solve had already
been solved by other means in gcc-3.3.2?  Or were there maybe other
reasons you deemed them no longer necessary?

Hmm.


compat.exp.patch is still needed, not sure why I dropped it;
possibly out of confusion (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12009
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12010
one of which was fixed for 3.3.3, but not the other).
I guess you can tell I wasn't doing rigorous testing.

config.sub.patch is still needed, but only if you're
on an ibm mainframe or cris machine building a self-cross, a case
nobody is likely to hit, so it doesn't matter.

pr11587.patch was a bad fix (see http://gcc.gnu.org/PR11587)
and needs to die.  In fact I should have removed that from patches/gcc-3.3.1, I bet.

Well, one out of three's not bad :-)
