any problems with gcc 3.0/3.1 and compiling 2.4.18 on ppc?

[Andrew Bradley]

Hi Chris,

I recently built the  2.4.18+patch kernel (patch details where on
http://www.penguinppc.org/) using "gcc version 2.95.3 20010319 (2.95.4
CVS + prerelease/franzo/20010912)" with out a hitch.
But my main goal is to use g++ 3.x as my default compiler to mimic GCC
3.0.2 on my solaris and linux systems I be using since November.
I tried  (http://www.suse.com/~aj/gcc30.html) and found that there seems
to be an intermittent crash with the compiler.

I also tried building many of the snap shots. My last try was
gcc-20020318.
The Intermittent crashes sometimes go a way when I retry.
stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/usr/local/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -c
-DIN_GCC    -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wtradi

I also tried downloading code sourcery's snap shots at
http://www.codesourcery.com/gcc_binary_snapshots.
The gcc-20020318 was incomplete.

Kaoru Fuki said he has "Newer binutils,glibc,gcc from cvs branch"
http://lists.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-user/200203/msg00125.html.
But his ftp seems to be down at:- ftp://sv5.linet.gr.jp/pub/PPC/

I am building on a Suse 7.3 (Mac8500 with G3 upgrade card).

I would appreciate finding other who have successfully built using GCC
3.0 on Apple Hardware. Most people seem to build it with a cross
compiler.

Regards
Andrew
