[parisc-linux] [owner@bugs.debian.org: Bug#204844 acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#204844: xlibs: libXt.so needs to be built with gcc 3.3.x for HPPA)]

[Grant Grundler]

FYI -  hppa xfree86 libs should be usable again in "testing" release.
(eg xpdf and related stuff should be working).
Please post issues if it's not.
I can rebuild xfree86-4.2.1-11 bits if that is needed.
I'll be removing the 4.2.1-9 hppa.debs in the future when it's
clear they aren't needed.

enjoy!

(kudos to branden+et al who enabled this!)
