Subject: Re: stabilization issues ppc-linux

Message-ID: <9901102304.AA26846@marc.watson.ibm.com> (raw)

	I have no idea what is wrong on ppc-linux.  Nothing has been
changed local to the port during the time that the breakage occurred other
than Meissner's ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGNED_LOCAL move to .sbss from .sdata.

	Did any of the SVR4 changes unintentionally affect PPC when they
were intended to i386?  I have not noticed any AIX/XCOFF problems.  This
isn't a Linux kernel or glibc by product?

	My only other suggestion is to use CVS checkout on specific dates
to divide-and-conquer finding the date of the offending change.  I think
in addition to freezes we need to be a little more aggressive about
reverting changes which break the compiler until the original author
corrects the error.

David
