Re: Journeyman configure/build options for gcc & glibc?

I tried upgrading my root filesystem from Journeyman

glibc-2.1.3 once the other 8xx fixes were applied (the same ones that are
now in the 1.2 SRPMs), so perhaps whatever got "fixed" in Journeyman was a bad
mod that got backed out again for 1.2.

Anyway, I'm happy.

OK, I'm glad to hear that.

 My only gripe about the otherwise excellent Hard Hat kit
is the ugly symlink from /opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/8xx/powerpc-linux -> /
which is necessary on the _target_.

Yes, we agree.  We actually have already fixed this, but it missed the
cutoff for the CDs; it was easy to fix, but was unfortunately overlooked
until too late.  It will be one of the first updates we post.

(Well, actually I'm not thrilled with the gcc/cccp.c relocation hack either;
 this sounds like a job for configure --prefix to me, but aside from that I'm
 happy :-)

We have customers who want the installation location configurable at
install time.  gcc seems to be the only package that has a problem with
this.  I think we're working on a better solution for the next release.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks
