Oneiric is now open for development, with syncs from unstable starting shortly. 
  The development version starts with an updated GCC and binutils, some soname 
changes (gmp, libffi, boost) and re-enables the default linker settings, which 
were disabled just before the natty release.

When merging or requesting a sync, please look at the list of known build 
failures [1]; bugs (tagged `ftbfs') are filed for every packages which fails to 
build from source. Please close these with the merged uploads.

Please check your uploads in an oneiric chroot, don't just test in a natty 
environment. See [2] how to setup such a development chroot.
