It seemed to be the least messy way to do things, though there will be (understandable) muttering about having to install gcc-2.95.2 on -STABLE. But the compiler gap between -STABLE and -CURRENT is now so wide that such measures do probably need to be taken. If such a change does happen, it may also be worth considering synchronising it with a move to USE_NEWGCC for the GNOME metaport, since there seems to be increasing amount of third-party code that can take advantage of both environments. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
