Back then, 3.5 seemed impossibly far off. Now it's at our doorstep. Has there been any motion on getting libgcc build decoupled from basic gcc build? It would be highly appreciated. It's getting harder and harder to bootstrap the gcc/glibc combination with each new release. cvs glibc looks like it currently requires you to have a good target gcc *just to install the headers*, so my old tricks won't work. Getting rid of the need for glibc headers to build plain old gcc would really cut through the Gordian knot. Pretty please? I'll gladly buy anyone working on this a beer at the summit... - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change
