I don't know what we'd prove if the ports tree was built with an un-FreeBSD'd egcs. It might get us close, then again it might get us chasing (mis)features that aren't going to be present when it is the system compiler. I certainly would feel better about using the real thing. # So the fix we mentioned might not be needed with the base EGCS. Maybe # you can just compile all the ports just to see where we stand.

Can you send me a set of instructions for turning gcc off and egcs on in the base distribution? -steve # -- # -- David (obr...@nuxi.com -or- obr...@freebsd.org) # To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
