I apologise that the timing is unfortunate coming immediately after the release of 4.2.2, but I've only just discovered that bootstrap of the gcc-4_2-branch is currently broken on powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0. Fortunately, my patch from June to fix the identical problem on mainline applies cleanly to the release branch and fixes the failure. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2007-q2/msg00303.html The following patch is a backport from mainline of the above fix. Tested on powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0. Ok for the 4.2 branch after it unfreezes? 2007-10-09 Roger Sayle Backport from mainline. * java/lang/natPosixProcess.cc: Include before to restore bootstrap on powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0. Roger --
