That was if you did not use qemu that did *not* compile or run with a |
| 10 |
gcc never then gcc-3 for a couple of years... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Also search for "gcc-porting" in b.g.o and guess what: there are many |
| 13 |
packages that fits this description for gcc, qemu was just a special |
| 14 |
case since for it it actually took YEARS before upstream released a |
| 15 |
version that worked with gcc-4, most other packages is often easier to |
| 16 |
patch (since it is mostly compile-time brokenness related to headers or |
| 17 |
other "small" fixes) and our awesome toolchain guys helps fixing it up |
| 18 |
before it hits ~arch. |
