Once in a while, I can build a kernel that works. I really should give the pgcc guys some feedback, but my job and FreeBSD take up ALL of my time... I would keep our standard cc as stable as it can be -- if someone wants to run pgcc, let them do it at their own risk by installing the port. Pgcc sig-11's quite often. I have seen a few cases of incorrect code. Frankly, I think that it is in the state of being a superub experiment (I kind-of like it, the pgcc people are doing what the GCC people should have been doing), but I would not trust the family jewels to it quite yet :-).
