Why can't 4.1 and 3.4 be "fixed" (if that's really needed) as well? 3.3 might be a problem, but even then you have to build them locally to support cross-compiling, why can't they be patched locally as well? regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
