I'm for its removal. As for the gcc project "losing its way" consider that 3.4 has quite matured and also has much smaller binary size from 3.3. 4.0 however is still too early in its development to come close to surpassing 3.4.
With all the changes and deprications it seems pointless to have to maintain extra code so 3 people can use an obsolete compiler. Something more recent like 3.4 should be used as a bench. Just my two cents. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
