I'd definitely start playing with the gcc-4.7.3 graft,
it does still have problems - but it builds on LP64 with the pim and iso
libraries.  I'm currently getting about 90 regression test failures out
of about 1000.

Thanks, Gaius.  It worked fine on Ubuntu 13.04 (on x86).  I haven't done serious testing but hello-world compiles.

One oddity was that I can't install gcc-multilib.  I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 gcc-multilib : Depends: cpp (>= 4:4.7.3-1ubuntu10) but 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed
                Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.7.3-1ubuntu10) but 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed
                Depends: gcc-4.7-multilib (>= 4.7.3-1~) but it is not going to be installed

But I read that "this package is needed to run 32 bit applications on 64 bit systems" and I'm on 32-bit only, so I guess it doesn't matter.

I still get a slight irritant when using gm2.  The compiler can't find the 3 files crt[1in].o unless they are in the source directory.  I usually create them there as symbolic links from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/crti.o.

Is there a better way to do this?

I'll try the native build on raspbian next.
