and is the EXACT reason we have the 'nocxx' USE flag instead of 'cxx' ... if we put 'USE=cxx' into profiles' make.defaults, people who have USE=-* will get a broken gcc and no matter how much i'd like to close bugs generated in that case with "NOT MY FAULT YOU HAVE A STUPID CONFIGURATION FILE YOU TOOL", i feel like that would probably not be too friendly -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
