I posted a patch that allows for building with GCC trunk (upcoming 4.3)
on <http://www.schwinge.homeip.net/~thomas/tmp/gcc-patches/>.  As for the
GCC 4.2 patch, it won't be accepted by upstream as-is.

If you want something reliable that is known to work, then stick with GCC
4.2 or 4.1.  Building the cross glibc and stuff with GCC 4.3 worked, but
I did not yet test the result.


Building with GCC 4.3 also does need a glibc patch,
<http://www.schwinge.homeip.net/~thomas/tmp/glibc-patches/0024-2007-03-18-Joseph-Myers-joseph-codesourcery.com.patch>,
same as has been posted on
<http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5442>.  Roland?
