Hi All,

The big EGCS switch is going to be thrown tomorrow in -current.
This will probably mean that a few ports will mysteriously stop
building.  This won't affect anyone that doesn't build from
source or doesn't run -current.  Anyone that runs -current and
doesn't want to weather the storm, nows the time to CVSup (or
whatever you use to get a fresh ports tree) and sit back for a
little while, while we straighten things out.

It would be a tremendous help if each port's maintainer would
install egcs from the port, move the system compiler out of the
way, and give their port(s) a try.  No need to post successes,
but it would be very beneficial to send-pr(1) any fixes you come
up with.

Thanks.

-steve
