<H3>Status</H3>
<P>Compiling this library requires a recent version of gcc. (For instance,
gcc 2-95 works well.) In addition, <A HREF="/autoconf/">autoconf</A>
versions 2.13 and above and <A HREF="/automake/">automake</A> versions
1.3b and above are required and essential ingredients for those mucking
about in the Makefiles and trying to configure on new targets.
</P>
<P>New things that work are in the latest
<A HREF="17_intro/RELEASE-NOTES">release notes</A>.
</P>
<P>Known problems and bugs, which will force us to actually keep this
file up-to-date, can be found in <A HREF="17_intro/BUGS">bugs</A>.
</P>
<P>Things that need to be done and are looking for volunteers can be found
in: <A HREF="17_intro/TODO">pick me</A>.
</P>
<P>This release has been tested with gcc 2.95 on the following
platforms. The configuration of --disable-namespaces
--disable-libgcc-rebuild was tested. Results for the
--enable-namespaces builds should be comparable. Here are the
results for snapshots 2.90.N:

<P>Note 1: A newer compiler than gcc-2.95.2 is required.
</P>
<P>Note 2: All solaris toolchains were configured with --with-gnu-ld
--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-binutils --with-gcc. (That's a lot of --with's...)
</P>
<P>Note 3: Configuration and initial support for AIX has been
completed. However, problems with the compiler/linker have
prevented testing. For instance, mknumeric_limits will fail unless
weak linking is possible, which doesn't seem possible on
AIX. The initial bug report is
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-03/msg00574.html"> here </a>
<p>And the
response from one of the powerpc port maintainers:
<p>
<i>
I opposed the original solution (involving weak symbols) on ELF, as
it seemed to be the wrong idea. I'm not sure what the right fix is,
and don't think I have time to work on it right now.</i>
</p>
