Only 2 days? Lucky you, I'm just through a complete recompile of every
port after the gcc 4.2.1 import (unluckily 4.2.1 doesn't fix all known

important. Of course -current users know how to deal with things like
this, but that doesn't mean they have to if there is another way.
The more surprises like that one, the less -current users we will have,
which means the less testing.
If there will be a need for me to reinstall all the ports I'll choose
not to upgrade or downgrade to 6.x...
So the really important thing for you is: How many ports are affected
by this change?
Does anyone have an estimate for this?
If not, does someone has an exhaustive list of affected symbols? I can
write a short script which has a look into each installed port to
determine if it is affected or not (based upon the assumption that you
don't mind if we overlook a few things... I'm not sure if statically
linked binaries contain enough information).
Bye,
Alexander.
