Greetings! Just wanted to give a brief report on some of the latest
building and autobuilding:
1) With 2.6.1-18 and later, the ia64 problem, in which shared
libraries at runtime had to exactly match those present at compile
time, has been eliminated. Just tested the latest ia64 axiom build
against multiple versions of the same shared libs, and all is
stable.(!)
2) I lost contact with my arm machine during the build, but it looks
as though at most there might be problems compiling one or two
algebra files. The build will take days to complete on this arch,
but apparently this will give us axiom on a pda. (Will anyone use
axiom there?)
3) Systems using dlopen (alpha, mips(el), hppa, and ia64) still cannot
build the databases, only (apparently) due to the limit on the
number of simultaneously opened (and dlopened) files (1024). The
patch I've temporarily put in to copy prebuilt databases from i386
on these platforms allows the current build to complete on these
arches.
4) Building the package takes a long time on some systems, but ppc,
alpha, and ia64 have recently successfully completed my latest
upload. Given earlier results, I don't expect any difficulties
from mips(el), hppa, sparc, and s390 (thanks Gerhard for clearing
the gcc compiler bug here!) In principle, arm and m68k should be
fine too, but as these machines are rather slow and less exercised
in the areas we're using, may give us a few surprises.
5) In researching some of the latest GCL changes, I feel that it may
be quite straightforward to eliminate the need for dlopen on the 5
platforms mentioned above by making use of an alternate relocation
pathway through the bfd library. Don't know how important it is,
but unless someone indicates they really need it, I'm going to
focus on clearing up more ansi issues first.
Take care,
