Hi egcs source RPM contains a .tar.gz of binaries of old compatability libraries. Including libg++-2.7.2. My concern isn't really the GPL violation, but more the fact I couldn't debug a f****** irritating bug by building a debug library from SRPM. I will log a separate bug about this. Chris
This issue has been forwarded to a developer for further action.
I am not sure what the bug is about. the binaries in the srpm have nothing to do with building a debugging library.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. The issue is this: there is a bug in the library itself. I want to step through the library and fix the bug. I can't because you have shipped some GPL code with binaries only and no source.
The source code for the library that is the default on the system is included. You can not recompile the older libstdc++ libraries with the new compilers, so including the source code for that would do you absolutely no good. Why don't you debug the application against the libbstdc++ 2.9? All of the previous versions should be considered evil and bad.
