(The gcc-2.7.2 tarball is almost 7 megs!) Deep in my heart I think, that someone, who has the whole sources unpacked has enough resources to store such a 7MB large file as well. But if someone is really low on diskspace, so that he doesn't install the whole sources, is perhaps happy, to have that relativ compact 2.7.2 tgz archive, even if it is 7 MB large. > * Besides that, I don't have a concrete idea, how to bring in the > * pgcc patches without patching gcc in contrib ...

John, what do you think about integration some or all Pentium related patches into our main cc 2.7.2.1 ?! -- andreas@klemm.gtn.com /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ Support Unix -- andreas.klemm@wup.de pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<<
