I'd like to say not at this time. Let me explain and then
let's all comment so I can see how my idea resonates with ya'll ;-)
I'd like to hold off addressing the GCC 3.x issues for only this
upcoming release (brickOS 1.0.0). My motivatation is two
fold: (1) we've a lot yet to do to close out this release
and (2, somewhat personal) I'm the guy in the Debian community
that has/wants to do the work of packaging the new compiler and
binutils and I can't do this release and the packaging at
the same time.
At this time Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 supports 11 architectures (motorola,
arm, power pc, hppa, ia64, ia32, S390, ... you get the point.) The
current H8/300 tool-chain (gcc/binutils) which I packaged does not work
on three of these (ia64, hppa, and S390) so I need to package a new
version. The Debian community (i think i heard) is about to standardize
shortly on the 3.2 compiler at which time I'll have it available from
which to generate the tool-chain for H8/300 and I can have it working
on all of our supported platforms.
So... how about we wait until after the brickOS 1.0.0 release and our
brickOS 1.1.0 release then be a roll to the gcc 3.x tool-chain. If we
do this your working on a patch, now, would be lost effort since we
_will_ be changing a majority of the files between now and then.
Does this make sense? And does it sound OK?
Regards,
Stephen - member of the brickOS team / release manager for 1.0.0
