02 jul 2016 i tried to build and install gcc, and i ran into a problem. your docs suggest isl acts as an OPTIONAL package for optimizations. however, i could not build gcc without it.
when i went to download it, i discovered the hosting website (http://isl.gforge.inria.fr/) offered zero security. no pgp signatures. no https. no .md5/sha* sums. nothing. when i went to their github, it offered only a self-signed certificate. considering the fsf offers all of its packages via https and with signatures, why would you mandate the use of any package with zero security? could you not teach the hosting website how to offer a secure version of its package? instead of upgrading to 6.1.0 or 5.x, i instead chose 4.9.3 which appears to NOT require isl. the disappointed frank smith -- http://www.fastmail.com - Does exactly what it says on the tin
