ANN: Upgrading rtems-4.10-gcc to gcc-4.4.2-RC-20091008

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

Due to us gradually approaching an rtems-4.10 release, we are currently 
closely following the FSF releases of the toolchain components.

As the GCC project is rapidly approaching a new release from the 
gcc-4.4.x series, which we want to base a future rtems-4.10 toolchain 
on, I am about to upgrade the rtems4.10 toolchains' gcc packages to the 
latest FSF release candidate: gcc-4.4.2-RC-20091008.

RPMs for Fedora-10/11/12, openSUSE-11.0/11.1 and CentOS-5, and tarballs 
for mingw32 and cygwin will be gradually landing in their corresponding 
repositories on ftp.rtems.org in near future (throughout the next 24 
hours, if everything works out as desired).


Linux-users, who have these repositories enabled, will automatically 
receive these new packages.

Please test these packages for your favorite GCC bugs and report issues 
to upstream FSF gcc, ASAP - Chances a low to get anything fixed at this 
point in time ;)

According to upstream FSF GCC, the release-candidate tarballs these 
packages are based on, are supposed to be supposed to be followed-up by 
GCC-4.4.2 final, which the FSF expects to be released next week.

Thanks,
     Ralf
