Not enough sleep lately ;-). I checked the GCC home page, and it seems that they're heading towards a model where one could just choose the backend off the shelf, plug in and run. If this is the direction they're headed I guess it would make sense to keep only what's needed to build the base system. I remember the discussion about fortran and though the removal of objc won't fuel a passionate debate I for one would vote to keep it. > > -- > -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) #;^) -- f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n cmptr prgrmmng. bush doctor <dervish@goku.cl.msu.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
