The sparc of fustration

sbcl now seems to compile on alpha and ppc again, on amd64 it already worked. sparc is leaving me in suspense already for 6 days now, on the buildd page you can see it going up and down the build queue. Highest position so far: 3. Now it is at 5 again.

Anyway, as sbcl has to wait on glibc to enter testing, which is waiting for gcc-4.0 (nice overview here), I reckon a new testing sbcl is not going to happen anytime soon.

It appears that gcc-4.0 is being held up because the documentation is judged heretical by the Debian Legal religious cult.
