hasn't Doug Rabson said ? ...
... and _please_ send all the changes required to compile gcc and
libg++ directly from FSF back to the FSF - so that the next version
would compile out of the box (without a dozen of patches to get g++
working correctly) - i think things like enabled weak symbols in the
freebsd.h config file of the vanilla FSF distribution while the
FreeBSD as doesn't suppoert weak symbols are very bad - it would be
much better if we would send all the changes required we find back to
the FSF so that you can also compile any new gcc out of the box
without aplying a dozen of _old_ patches
