gcc48: fails configure check for PPL

Same problem for me with gcc46. Looks like this was never intended to work with PPL 1.0. Here is the relevant section from your config.log:

229	| int
230	| main ()
231	| {
232	|
233	|     #if PPL_VERSION_MAJOR != 0 || PPL_VERSION_MINOR < 11
234	|     choke me
235	|     #endif
236	|
237	|   ;
238	|   return 0;
239	| }

Is there a workaround to this, e.g. downgrading PPL?

All of the GCCs (apparently: ​http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html) require 0.11, not 1.0, which is what PPL was just updated to... r94921

In /opt/local/include/ppl.hh +455

//! The major number of the PPL version.
/*! \ingroup PPL_CXX_interface */
#define PPL_VERSION_MAJOR 1

//! The minor number of the PPL version.
/*! \ingroup PPL_CXX_interface */
#define PPL_VERSION_MINOR 0

A lot of people (anyone with a gcc4x active, it hit 45,46,and 47 on mine; I don't others installed) will get rev-upgrade hits (and re-build failures) off of this. Roll back r94921 sooner than later (a new epoch will be required, if I recall) and re-group / wait for up-stream (gcc) to adopt?

I'm trying a rebuild of with ppl @0.12.1. I hate that my gcc4.6, and 4.7 compiler are inoperable for now.

I don't know how to force the gcc ports to use ppl @0.12.1. My gcc46 is now useless.

I was able to build gcc47 by using the gcc48 Portfile change from r94941 to disable the ppl version check.

This appears to be working for me also.
