However, - libstdc++-v3 got switched off because of a bug in linking C++ objects compiled with different optimisation levels that would cause FAILs to appear and disappear at random; and - libjava never did get switched on, partly because it doesn't work on powerpc-eabisim, so it would only affect the x86 native, which makes it hard for others to fix any problems the regression tester finds. Maybe I should revisit this. -- - Geoffrey Keating From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Geoff Keating To: "Joseph S.
