Hi,

I would be glad to add them but they will only work if the person who 
checks them out has the same gcc version (for the same the C++ abi) as the 
version that was checked in.

So LinuxPPC would need to add versions for gcc 2.95.X, gcc 3.1.1, and gcc 
3.2 and even then there would be no guarantee that they would not need a 
specific version of libgcc_so.1 and or libstdc++.so.X.Y.Z

So right now on ppc linux, YellowDog would need one set, SuSE another, and 
still a third for their upcoming releases.

Perhaps we should only pick one specific gcc version to support for each 
platform:

linux - gcc 3.2.1 and glibc 2.3 since that is what everyone is moving to
irix - gcc 2.95.X
freebsd - gcc 3.2.1
MacOSX - gcc 3.1 (or we could pick gcc 2.95.X) depending on if we are 
looking forward or backward

etc.

I just don't know the correct solution.  Either way, without lots of moz 
zip files lying around we can not guarantee buildability under linux for 
gcc 2.95.X, 2.96, 3.0.4, gcc 3.1.X, and gcc 3.2.X which all seem to have 
differnt abi's when it comes to C++ code.

Ideas anyone.

Kevin
