Building kfreebsd-5 (and kfreebsd-6, etc) requires gcc-3.4 as well. Note that upstream only supports their own fork of gcc-3.4 to build the kernel, and I'm not aware of any plans to update it short-term. So AFAIK no problem on our side to make gcc-4.1 the default, as long as gcc-3.4 is still present. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
