Hi Johannes, |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
the problem ist that gcc (the binary) must be build with java,fortran,ada |
| 13 |
support, |
| 14 |
otherwise gcj... do not work, so it's not possible to use the separated |
| 15 |
tarballs. |
| 16 |
The only optimization might be to use separate packages for the |
| 17 |
(java,fortran,ada) |
| 18 |
libs and stick with use vars for the gcc built-in stuff. I agree with the |
| 19 |
guys which want |
| 20 |
private use flags like for mozilla otherwise we're in trouble with the |
| 21 |
allready existing java use |
| 22 |
flag. |
| 23 |
As an alternative the gcc-related java use flag can be called javac or gjc, |
| 24 |
fortran and ada should not make problems. |

| 30 |
|
| 31 |
have not even given icc a try so i simply dont know at the moment, you might |
| 32 |
want to take |
| 33 |
a look in the bootstrap.sh script and modify it to install icc++ after the |
| 34 |
second gcc build. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
i tried last week to make a separate package for the binutils and gcc stuff. |
| 37 |
it uses gcc-core and builds |
| 38 |
binutils and gcc(one-step no bootstrapping) together. This can be used as a |
| 39 |
replacement for the first binutils/gcc build during |
| 40 |
bootstrapping and saves some time. |

yeah, i ran out of money two years ago because i only worked on gentoo |
| 50 |
for 14 month without getting sponsors or making it a sellable (and of course |
| 51 |
without looking for other part time jobs). Additionally daniel and i |
| 52 |
had alot of communication trouble after sticking together on this project |
| 53 |
for such a long time. |
| 54 |
these troubles are out of the way now but i'm abit short in time now, that's |
| 55 |
why you will not see |
| 56 |
me on irc (it eats time) and that's why i'm labled as an hall of fame |
| 57 |
developer (a title, i personally really like). |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
bye achim~ |
