most of the sse2 bugs have been there since 3.4.0 and the release |
| 10 |
manager even commented on them not being fixed (after once again |
| 11 |
targeting them for the next release). Scott Ladd is going to be working |
| 12 |
on them, so hopefully we'll see some fixes: |

The CXX bugs you're referring to only happen for nptl users, who have a |
| 16 |
broken pthread.h which isnt parsable by g++ in any way. this is fixed in |
| 17 |
the latest glibc snapshot, but that snapshot has a ton of issues of it's |
| 18 |
own... like -requiring- 2.6 kernel headers, semi-broken libresolv, etc. |
| 19 |
I'll break out a patch and apply it to older snapshots, but the result |
| 20 |
of that snapshot was so discouraging I havent really wanted to touch glibc. |

look at those testsuite results for amd64 for today... |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
though, at the rate things are going, we might have 4.0 stable before 3.4. |
