One package of mine (exult) exposes bugs in the Alpha version of g++ 2.95. g++ 3.0 works well, so I had to force it (it's not default there). Note that this makes your package dependent (at least on those architectures where enabled) on the 3.0 g++ libraries. This can make trouble with testing, but currently g++ seems synced in testing. For simplicity, I opted to compile it with 3.0 on other platforms as well ... this may or may not be appropriate for you. -- Robbe
