[Mingw-users] dwarf2 exception handling

[Takashi O. <t_...@hk...>]

Hi,

I am trying to build OpenOffice.org with mingw tools and facing a severe bug of gcc.
It is the incompatibility of alloca() and silj exceptin handling.
( http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25266 )

When I posted it to gcc bugzilla, I received a comment that it relates to another bug 
already reported. And the reporter Mr. Danny Smith says it will not occur with the 
patched gcc dwarf2 unwind enabled.

I have searched the web and found his patch at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-11/msg01989.html. I am trying to apply it to gcc-3.4.2-20040916-1 
released by mingw. Some patch failed and I have made some modifications which seemed 
to be appropriate to me, by hand.

However, currently I still cannot complete the build. Genmode.exe crashes.

I am lost and would appreciate any advise to resolve the problem.
