Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcc-4.3-spu
Unlike the cell-gcc/spu-gcc package, SPU Software Managed Cache controlling files are missing in gcc-4.3-spu. They are responsible for managing and interfacing (spu_cache.h) the Software Managed Cache on the Cell BE SPU which is implemented as library within gcc.
These files were present in spu-gcc_4.1.1r886, but there is nothing like this in gcc-4.3-spu:
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/
The consequence is that my software using SPU Software Managed Caches won't compile anymore. On the other hand i'm forced to gcc-4.3 because of bugs in gcc 4.1 [1]. It seems that the SPU Software Managed Cache patches are also still present in the upstream gcc-4.3 cell branch [2], but not in the upstream gcc-4.3 release [3].
