Tracking GCC 4.4 related build errors

<p>

I started building the Debian archive with GCC 4.4 ten days ago to report
build errors.  I've completed the archive build now and reported about <a
href =
"http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ftbfs-gcc-4.4;users=debian-gcc%40lists.debian.org">220
bugs</a> (the majority with patches).  There are roughly 30 build failures
left that I haven't analyzed yet.  There are also about 35 packages that
fail because the boost headers don't work with GCC 4.4.  I'll try to build
them when the boost headers get fixed.

</p>

<p>

The majority of GCC 4.4 build errors are trivial.  The large majority of
failures is because of <a href =
"http://www.cyrius.com/journal/gcc/gcc-4.4-include">missing #include
statements</a>.  There are also about 20 build errors because of <a href =
"http://www.cyrius.com/journal/gcc/gcc-4.4-preprocessor-errors">improved
preprocessor checks</a>.

</p>

<p>

I'll try to do another archive build when the gcc-4.4 package is in
Debian.
