[Valgrind-developers] Compile valgrind/none/tests/ppc32/jm-insns.c with GCC-4.1.0

[Yao Qi <qiy...@cn...>]

I tried to compile valgrind/none/tests/ppc32/jm-insns.c with both
GCC-4.1.0 and GCC-3.4.3, but I could not find any error during 
compilation, except warnings caused by -Wdeclaration-after-statement.

I compiled it like this,

/home/qiyao/svn/build_gcc/gcc/xgcc -B/home/qiyao/svn/build_gcc/gcc
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../..    -Winline -Wall -O -mregnames
-DHAS_ALTIVEC -maltivec  -Wno-long-long -Wdeclaration-after-statement
-MT jm_insns-jm-insns.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/jm_insns-jm-insns.Tpo" -c -o
jm_insns-jm-insns.o jm-insns.c

My compiler version is,
[qiyao@linux~]$ /home/qiyao/svn/build_gcc/gcc/xgcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc64-linux
Configured with: ../gcc/configure --enable-languages=c --enable-shared
--enable-threads=posix --enable-checking --with-system-zlib
--enable-__cxa_atexit -with-cpu=default32 --target=powerpc64-linux
--host=powerpc64-linux --build=powerpc64-linux
--with-as=/home/qiyao/binutils/binutils_build/gas/as-new
--with-ld=/home/qiyao/binutils/binutils_build/ld/ld-new
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.0 20051113 (experimental)

I am not sure about the item in 'Release plan for 3.1.0',

- fix none/tests/ppc32/jm-insns.c so it works with gcc4.

Could anybody here explain this item further?  Am I missing something?
Would anyone like to have a look?  Any comments are greatly
appreciated.  

Maybe I could code patch on this to move all the declarations in front 
of statements to remove all the compiler warnings, any thought on this?
