PCH problems on sparc-linux

PCH problems on sparc-linux

[Christian Joensson]

As I have understood, there is perhaps a problem with the sparc linux
kernel related to problems with PCH in current gcc cvs trunk (since
april 2004 it seems...)

The thread at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-11/msg00225.html suggests
a "simple" fix... Daniel's
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-11/msg00241.html. Did that ever get
applied?

Furthermore, as suggested by David's
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-11/msg00232.html, it's more by chance
that PCH works on sparc... now, would that also somehow be fixable by
any idea that could be recorded here for example?

No, because it was never written; I don't have the time to work on
sparc*-linux.  It should not be hard to do from the description.

I've never tested it out, I lack time for any gcc development these
days.  It is the simplest candidate I've seen for a fix for this
problem.  Someone should give it a try.
