Re: Request for swapcontext and getcontext to be ported to our libc

["Matt Emmerton" <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Petr,

Based on information scattered about the Internet, as well as what the
FreeBSD folks have done, it appears that powerdns-recursor requires
gcc-3.4.6 to compile properly.  This is a problem as DFly's native gcc is
3.4.5 and the pkgsrc version of 3.4.6 does not support DFly.

To do this right, we will need DFly to support the 3.4.6 compiler before we
can support this package.
