I fit this use case -- I work with embedded devices and as a result, sometimes older versions of software are necessary. However, it's usually not just gcc alone, it's glibc et al as well. The solution isn't to keep gcc 2.95 around indefinitely; it's for people to use debootstrap and chroots. -- off the chain like a rebellious guanine nucleotide -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
