10:19 pm - GCC 4.3 status update update
GCC 4.3 was branched today. Release candidates will be following very soon-now.
We're (I'm) way far behind in porting. One thing I'm doing right now is moving my laptop/main dev machine/lifeline-to-the-net to 4.3. Then when I encounter a broken package, it is likely to annoy the hell out of me, forcing me to fix it, stick it into the gcc-porting overlay, and open a bug for it. And so on...
Welll that's the idea anyways..

Well, how can we help besides sending in patches for packages that don't compile with gcc 4.3?

Just do that. File bugs, with patches, assigned to the maintainer of the package, and blocking bug #198121 (or just type "gcc-4.3" in the blocking field - easier to remember).

Is Gentoo going to apply that macro redefinition patch or is it just going to try and fix as many of the broken packages as it can?

I meant the one you mentioned here but I think I misread the entry. Redefinition is going to stay as a warning, right?
