They aren't compatible, and for precisely that reason I'd strongly suggest we don't provide both simultaneously, it will just make for incompatibility nightmares for people. When dwarf is Ready, we should probably switch to it, but until it is, we should probably sit tight on sjlj. > > Nevertheless, if you've tested this in your use case and can > > reassure me that it works for you, I'm ok with switching to dwarf. > > AFAIK this is made to work with some additional patches to clean 4.4 > sources so it is not an option right now to enable it in this > package.

I'd heard upstream mingw were claiming it was working, but I haven't assessed this for myself yet, or decided for certain if I was going to switch the next upload of their stuff to use it. Given that I've seen some teething problems with early 4.4 compilers probably this should be targetted at experimental rather than for sid->testing at present anyhow, to give people a chance to test and confirm it at their own leisure rather than taking away their currently working toolchain prematurely. Robert, do you know anything about licence trouble in gcc 4.4? Apparently there is some GPLv3 taint in there now which may make trouble for GPLv2 apps and maybe others, but I haven't heard anything yet on if/how this will be resolved ...
