The statistics become much higher when you realize that:
1. Redhat wants to change the buggy 2.96 compiler (which actually has about 5
versions I am ware of that they refuse to admit or tag as different versions).
2. Mandrake is compatible to RH (meaning Mandrake want you to be able to
install Redhat RPMS and therefore have to use the same compiler as RH).
Actually - what comes out of all this is that Mandrake HAS to release a major
version whenever RH releases one (or shortly after because of development
time) if it wants to keep it's objective of staying RH compatible. So it's
not such a big surprise to me...:). Suse uses RPM too but is NOT RH
compatible and did not follow suit on the 2.96 issue. They are a sane company
I guess.
On the bright side: gcc 2.96 is going to obscrity where is rightfully belongs.
Regards,
Mark.
