------- Comment #14 from pcarlini at suse dot de 2006-06-12 22:40 ------- Ok, thanks for your feedback. Indeed, the only possible "cause" of the problem are the finer grained checks for wchar_t vs C99 wchar_t proper functions which are now carried out after my 2006-05-03 commit (which fixed regressions on solaris and hpux).
In fact, looking at the 20060428 log what was happening before the patch is that ac_c99_wchar was "no" and then wchar_t ended up being *completely disabled*. Currently, instead, the autoconf tests try to enable wchar_t support (all the configure tests pass) but then something very misteriously fails at build time. All in all, waiting for someone to kick-in and shed some light about MIPS vs MIPS64 and all that, you can certainly force by hand the old (4.1.0) behavior by passing explicitely --disable-wchar_t at build time. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27878
