GCC 3.2 and associated toolchain
Hi all, Has anyone tried GCC 3.2 with SuSE Linux 8.0? What are the pros and cons? What sorts of problems are caused by the change in ABI? Will SuSE Linux 8.1 include GCC 3.2? Will it be built with GCC 3.2? I have used GCC 3.1.1 and associated toolchain from people/aj - gcc-*.3.1.1-27.i586.rpm etc. - with no apparent problems, up until the last glibc update via YaST2 - glibc 2.2.5 - when I fell back to using GCC 2.95.3. Thanks

Has anyone tried GCC 3.2 with SuSE Linux 8.0?
Yes, but I install gcc compilers (and gdb if needed) from source via e.g. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc/3.2 Then I set PATH=/usr/local/gcc/3.2/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc/3.2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH This way, I can keep several versions of the gcc compiler without affecting the original gcc-2.95.3 setup.
What are the pros and cons?
