Re: Does gcc 3.4 compile glibc in CVS?



Are those math failures also known problems? Since gcc 3.4 is quite close now, shouldn't they be considered very serious regressions?

No it is not 3.4 is not out for long time, only Stage 1 is going to be done
in July which means no more radical changes go into gcc 3.4.
Did you read <http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html>?
From that page:
Stage 1
During this period, changes of any nature may be made to the compiler. In particular, major changes may be merged from branches.


Stage 2
During this period, major changes may not be merged from branches. However, other smaller improvements may be made. For example, support for a new language construct might be added in a front-end, or support for a new variant of an existing microprocessor might be added to a back-end.


Stage 3
During this period, the only (non-documentation) changes that may be made are changes that fix bugs. New functionality may not be introduced during this period.
