Yet another problem with libc5.4.7-- but only if we back out to the previous stable version.
Specifically; the latest cpp and gcc packages [the ones on which I based my objc-compatible gcc/cpp packages] REQUIRE libc5.4.7. So, backing out on 5.4.7 will likely require backing out to gcc 2.7.2.1-1 (instead of 2.7.2.1-2). I am in the process of taking over the gcc [and gdb] package[s] from the current maintainer, so will need to make a decision based on community desires. How to procede? [Karl Sackett has been putting together a complete set of gnustep debian packages for community consumption. Unfortunately, as it stands, the compiler consistently crashes when attempting to optimize certain pieces of code. Looks like I picked the *wrong* time to start maintaining gcc... oh well, off to an intense session with gdb, I suppose]. b.bum Begin forwarded message: >From agent Tue Oct 29 04: 57:14 1996 Resent-Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 04:57:09 -0600 (CST) Date: Tue, 29 Oct 96 08:52 EDT From: Carlos Carvalho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: does libc5.4.7 compatible with netscape 3.0 In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org Resent-Reply-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/1187 X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org Priority: non-urgent Importance: low Resent-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Daniel Stringfield ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote on 28 October 1996 20:45: >On Tue, 29 Oct 1996, Lawrence Chim wrote: > >> So, I think libc 5.4.7 should be removed from rex and downgrade to 5.2.x. > >Thats the point of REX isn't it? to be the latest of the stuff... if you >upgrade, and RECOMPILE against that libc5, your problems will go away. >I have had NO PROBLEMS with that version!

I agree it should be on rex, but just recompiling doesn't work. As I already said here, I compiled wdiff with gcc 2.7.2.1 and it still segfaults.
