Request for swapcontext and getcontext to be ported to our libc

[Petr Janda]

Ah sh*t.

Devs: have you got any comment on this and what are the chances of 
updating gcc 3.4 before the release?

Petr,

Based on information scattered about the Internet, as well as what the
FreeBSD folks have done, it appears that powerdns-recursor requires
gcc-3.4.6 to compile properly.  This is a problem as DFly's native gcc is
3.4.5 and the pkgsrc version of 3.4.6 does not support DFly.
To do this right, we will need DFly to support the 3.4.6 compiler before we
can support this package.

I see.
What about getting someone to get powerdns-recusor compiling and
      
running?
  
Once that is done we shall arrange for your payment.

Hey,
Any progress on the fully libc *context functions?
          
I've toyed with it a bit, but there are some issues I'm not sure how
        
to
  
solve (such as accessing curthread -- a kernel construct -- from
        
userland).
    
I would welcome discussion with the person who suggested it
        
(corecode?).
  
Also, I felt it pertinent to focus on the quick-start FreeBSD port to
        
get it
    
into the 1.8-release.
