BS. Even the large disto builders do cross compilations a lot. I am getting pretty sick of this. Can we now start discussing what GCC does do well, or otherwise, for further complaints remove me from the CC: please. I can't say all is good about GCC. There are always ways to do things better. But, as Dewar already pointed out, GCC just can not be perfect for everyone's needs. I, for one, am very happy that we are finally pulling GCC out of the 80s, into the 21st century. The compile time and memory consumption problems are obviously there, but just complaining is not going to fix them. Yet complaining is all some people do. It only demotivates me more to work on these issues that you care about, and I in all honesty don't give a s*** about. It is IMVHO rediculous that the list where GCC is bashed the most is the GCC list itself. Gr. Steven
