Can someone clarify where the problem is exact with native egcs and libc-1.99 ? I use egcs-1.1.1 since the weekend and it seems to work fine. I had no trouble to build some shared lib stuff like in the latest jade or sgml-tools. This packages didn't compile with older version I tried (also Gary's egcs-1.1b), but that were generell compiler issues, I think. But on the other side I also tried to run the SeaMonkeyBrowser (Mozilla) from recent cvs-sources. Building went fine, but the beast didn't run. I get only a simple "Aborted" message on the console and it seems to crash somewhere in the startup code. So maybe this is somehow related ? Had someone luck to run a recent version of Mozilla at all on LinuxPPC ?
No. There's a bug that at least one person (Anthony Tong) is working on finding, something with the shared libraries, I think. SeaMonkey has its own set of problems, in addition - I recommend playing with classic mozilla instead.
