To my surprise, Gentoo (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="", iow "stable" Gentoo) is ready to give me gcc 3.2.2 (in fact it compiles as I type).
So, what can I expect from wine and gcc322? Any known interestingnesses? Anyone even tried it? Presumably, since the threading magic needs to be in the kernel (I run a modified linux-2.4.21-pre4-ac5 atm), I will not get the pthread bug... but then again, how do I know for sure if I suffer from that or not? Is there a test that is known to reliably break against the new threading model (or perhaps I can presume I "got it" if i can't run notepad?1)
If you can run notepad you aren't affected by the bug because the bug is merciless: the wineserver wont even start because it fails to create the needed socket in /tmp/.wine-$user/server-XXXXXX/ (this stuff gets deleted on wine shutdown). If by any chance the socket is still present, wine will still crash pretty fast.
