[ros-dev] Regarding Bug 4810 and building the evil GCC 4.4

[Daniel Reimer]

Hi.
After two weeks of disappointing escapades over building GCC 4.4.X I 
decided to try out the official mingw32 build from sf.net always in my 
mind that all patches we had to use in GCC 4.1.3 are already included in 
GCC 4.4.X. Well at first it built well (with disabled rsym, which fucks 
up dwarf2 headers in a way which renders a executable unuseable) but 
then it died with the error you can see in the bug report. 
(http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4810) OK, I hoped 
someone comes up with a fix in our code, but hto answered with a patch 
in gcc. My 1. question now: Is this patch needed or is the error our 
fault? If we really need this patch i could need someone's helping hand 
with building GCC. We started a wiki entry 
(http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Compiling_GCC_From_Windows) which shows our 
recent tries to build a recent GCC without dwarf2 support. it builds 
quite well if i do "make all-gcc", but i want and need a full "make all" 
and there i get this one:

is question 2.) Question 3 is: Anyone succeeded building cloog-ppl? And 
the last question: Any other useless crap in our settings in the wiki? 
Any needed fixes settings etc?

Thx.
