The original message was talking about updating to gcc-4 after the official release. This bit got cut out when I trimmed down the excerpts. The point of my message is that since the official release hasn't occurred yet, and isn't likely to occur for another couple of months, it is too early to speculate about how well gcc-4 will work for end users after the release. There could be significant changes between now and then. I certainly didn't intend to discourage clueful people from trying to build a distro with it in the meantime. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
