here it is the list with packages that still fail to build with 4.6 from factory. https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=openSUSE%3AFactory%3AStag... Alin On 30 April 2011 08:25, Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> wrote:

Would updating the specfile to use gcc46 instead of gcc be feasible until the default gcc is updated?
Yeah, that'd be pretty easy. The hard part comes in when you want to build KMPs against that kernel since they won't be using the same compiler version unless they're *also* modified to use CC=gcc-4.6
The question is whether it will break anything in that case at all? Like nvidia and similar binary blob (some v4l drivers for example) won't be built by 4.6 for sure but are expected to work... The tracing won't work, indeed. But will it crash?
We could save the CC variable in the generated Makefile in the build directory. I'm not sure if it would break in some scenarios, but it should work as a temporary opensuse-only patch at least.
Hopefully everybody uses kbuild properly nowadays. But again, is it needed?
