Probably, although I don't know the state of the zip that Korli produced,
as I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. The normal culprits are
linking in iconv and the like accidentally. Also, binutils were not
updated, and that kind of comes along for the ride on the optional GCC
package.
I think the choice of MPFR and GMP versions to integrate could potentially
cause problems though. I see Korli addressed the obvious, but staying at
MPFR 2.4.2 and GMP 4.3.2 would have made more sense, seeing as the GCC
guys don't support the versions imported at all, plus those bleeding-edge
versions break GRAPHITE support entirely.
That said, months down the road the currently-imported GMP/MPFR versions
will probably be a non-issue, especially having to bring in MPC as another
build requirement. So yeah, it could all be for the best while keeping
the future in mind.
I also know that there used to be regressions with 4.4, but if they are
gone now, then good stuff. Otherwise, if Tracker and media_addon_server
start acting up (Tracker not drawing icons, and there being no sound in
GCC4 pure/hybrid builds), 4.4 is probably to blame due to the nature of
some -O1 optimizations.
I do thank Korli for doing what should have been my work. This is the
first chance I've had to really check in lately, and appreciate he stepped
in while my heels were (and are pretty much still) dragging.
