1.11. compat-gcc-34

Updated compat-gcc-34 packages that resolve several issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The compat-gcc-34 packages include a GCC 3.4.6 compatibility C, C++ and Fortran 77 compilers.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

* Previously, the compatibility C, C++ and Fortran 77 compilers generated binaries that required text relocations on the Intel Itanium architecture, which SELinux policies disallow by default. With this update, the compatibility C, C++ and Fortran 77 compilers do not anymore generate such binaries. ( BZ#462581)

* Previously, compat-gcc-34-g77 %post and %preun rpm scriptlets could fail upon install-info failures. Such failures are now ignored. ( BZ#638882)

* Previously, compat-gcc-34-debuginfo couldn't be installed simultaneously with gcc-debuginfo. This has now been fixed. ( BZ#638883)

All GCC users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
