The way I've tweaked the gcc-4.9 package is just not going to work. For example, libgcc1 built from gcc-4.9 has symbols that libgcc1 built from gcc-4.7 does not. But we can't replace the latter. So now I'm looking at how gcc-mozilla works, because that does essentially what we need. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings For every complex problem there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
