I would like to try this new GCC version for a new CLFS compilation, but what about the specs, cross-path and the other patches? should I try with the existing 4.2.2 patches or are there new ones to try?

Would be nice to be able to contribute some feedback for the inclussion of this package in the book, but I'm not sure how to proceed...

Any hint, Joe?

My last build of SVN I didn't use gcc-4.2.2, I used gcc-4.2.3, I didn't use a couple patches, I lost my notes, but you can figure out what they are as the patches lose hunks, it's the branch updates I think. Check it out, use the specs and other patches. Let me know how it works. The last build was SVN in January X86 32bit. I see no issues with that build. Others need to try it out asap. Not sure how critical gcc-4.2.3, but gcc-4.2.2 is doing well.

If it fixes kernel builds on alpha I think we should consider jumping to it, but until then, It might be safer to stick with 4.2.2

I'm afraid I can't test the build on the alpha platform, as I only have to computers, one with an amd64 processor and my laptop with an intel core 2 duo processor, so we can say I'm quite 'stuck' at x86/x86-64

Anyway, I've made sort of a quick test, just grabbed the 4.2.2 patches, renamed them accordingly and applied, and applies with no problem, although I've never liked hunks, but they're all accepted...

I'll try a new build on saturday (with a bit of luck) so at least from the x86 perspective, I'll tell you if it works on this side

Sorry for being a week late, work is sometimes complicated enough to mantain me out of the scene, but anyway...

As promised, I've been conducting a new build with GCC 4.2.3 using the same patchset from 4.2.2 except the branch update, of course, just renamed them and applied, as stated in my previous post, just a bunch of hunks but nothing really serious, and the final result is a working toolchain and system in the final chapter, so, at least from the x86 side, it works fine.
