Subject:	gcc-4.9.0 20140411 snapshot for DJGPP
Reply-To:	djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com

Yesterday gcc-4_9-branch was created and gcc-4.9.0 prerelease
was made available. That means that actual gcc-4.9.0 is near:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2014-04/msg00091.html

My build of snapshot from gcc-4_9-branch is available at

http://ap1.pp.fi/djgpp/gcc/test/4.9.0-20140411/

I did some testing for C++:
- built cln-1.3.2 and run its test. All works out of box as earlier
- built GiNaC (www.ginac.de). Builds out of box. Some tests seem
   to run extremely slowly. I suspect that DJGPP v2.04 slow free() is biting.

Of course it bootstraps OK (except of getting stuck once while
configuring libstdc++-v3: it happens randomly in the same place
when building under Windows Vista, I do not know why).

About DJGPP v2.04 slow free(): I have used nmalloc for building gcc
already for a long time as gcc allocates and frees large number of
memory blocks and DJGPP v2.04 own memory management is too slow.

Perhaps it could be time use nmalloc for DJGPP libc.
