Package: general Severity: wishlist It would be great if we could move to GCC 4.1 for etch. The release managers have now given us a concrete target we have to achieve before this can happen: the majority of outstanding 4.1 specific bugs in packages have to be fixed by mid of June [1]. The RC bug NMU policy applies to such bugs as of now. This bug report will be used as a meta bug to track outstsanding GCC 4.1 bugs in packages.
Some background information: In March, I built the whole archive with GCC 4.1 on several architectures and filed about 280 bugs related to the new compiler (mostly in package using C++) [2]. Many of those bugs had patches and now, roughly two months later, about half of them have been fixed. However, we need to get rid of the remaining bugs. Most of them should be trivial to fix anyway. Some information about common C++ errors can be found in [3].
