Hi William

For the last couple of builds , I have been using GCC-4.7.0 with an arch 
patch so it recognises  cloog-0.17 and isl-0.09. is working well so far, 
just tried ppl 0.12 as well, so far no problems, but I lack the courage 
and documentation to full utilise the graphite.
  ops.


For GCC-4.7.0 i had to redo the pure patches and used the following 
flags  --disable-build-with-cxx --disable-build-poststage1-with-cxx 
--with-native-system-header-dir=/tools in building the cross compiler 
which got rid of the impure headers warning and enable me to delete the 
line where we adjust the start file include prefix

However i had to disable stack smashing protection when constructing the 
final libc library in 10.7  other wise it wouldn't build


Other problems encounted were when I upgraded to util-linux-2.21, as I 
use the boot method (cross compile from an earlier x86 build to pure 
x64), the login utils now have a PAM dependency , so i cheated and used 
the earlier versions copy, probably want to cross compile shadow, but I 
couldn't get it to work correctly.
