Pretty please with sugar on the top

[Alexander Haväng]

Hello,

Now that glibc 2.2 is out the door, would it be too much too ask
if we could have a gcc 2.95.3 that can compile c++ programs?
(See the glibc FAQ questions 2.34-2.35 for reference)

Or, is there a fairly stable newer version of gcc that fixes
this?

Even a bunch of patches for 2.95.2 would do I guess, if they
are available at a nice location (the ones listed in the glibc
FAQ are not).

Regards,

What FAQ? The glibc home page says 2.1.2 is the latest release, and the
FAQ there hasn't been updated since 2.0.5c.

The FAQ in the distribution seems to be later than the FAQ on the web.

By the way, can any glibc experts explain the reasons why the changes
are needed?  (It seems that the patch to fix libstc++/libc compatibility
mostly seems to just turn a lot of _IO_fpos_t types into _IO_off_t
types, and _IO_fpos64_t into _IO_off64_t).
