My recollection of the problems that led to blackdown being masked in |
9 |
the newer profiles is as below. Basically there were two main |
10 |
problems that were noticed. |
11 |
|
12 |
- Using a newer gcc and glibc than was in the 2005.x profiles caused |
13 |
failures with blackdown (probably broken library dependencies). |
14 |
- Even when it did work, there were problems on multi-processor |
15 |
systems where applications would fail to build but worked just fine on |
16 |
a single processor system |
