Yes, but this is stuff already in stable. Almost everything in sarge should be compiled with gcc 3.2 or 3.3. There are some exceptions, such as old-KDE and some other old libs (C++ ABI changes). It might be worth someone tracking down the va_args patch for 3.0, but I'm certainly not going to do it. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
