4 Hello devs,
5
6 Before I begin, sorry if I should have sent this to the -user list.. Please
7 forward it there/moan at me if so. :)

9 At the moment, re2c is completely broken w.r.t. gcc 3.x. And as most people
10 are living on the bleedin' edge (i.e., not using gcc 2.x) re2c is completely
11 broken for them.
12
13 So, I propose the maintainers of php*-cvs/re2c do one of:-
14
15 1) Pull from portage. Drastic, yes, but why have ebuilds in the tree if
16 the wont compile for most gentoo users?
17
18 2) Fix them. I'll try as hard as I can (I've done most of the porting of
19 re2c (current ver in portage), I'm just left with a few C++ idioms..) to
20 fix it up so it's usable.
21
22 That's it. :)

24 Thanks,
25 Elfyn
