I'm not saying we should wait; I asked for this a few months ago. But, I've been informed that the latest gcc should be imported first because it records dependency information when linking a shared library to other shared libraries (or something like that). I think the entire library version bump should be done in one commit as opposed to just bumping libpthread. -- DEReceived on Thu Nov 02 2006 - 16:33:37 UTC
