GCC 4.1 on its way into Portage
The long awaited moment of GCC 4.1 being unmasked has almost arrived. The toolchain team will be unmasking gcc-4.1.1 this week after it is released. The upgrade should be incredibly easy and require no additional work to install and use. The number of applications that do not compile with gcc-4.1 is extremely small now, and most users should not experience any problems with ~arch packages not compiling. To upgrade to the new version (assuming you are using gcc-3.4), all that is required is to upgrade GCC and then select the new profile using gcc-config. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of GCC, please refer to our GCC Upgrading Guide for more detailed instructions.
If you run into any applications that do not compile, and they do not have a bug currently open, please file a "GCC Porting" bug and assign it to gcc-porting@gentoo.org so that the GCC Porting team can look into it. |
