We have never supported mix * & match of sourceballs from different releases. We do our best * to support running old executables on newer systems, but that's a * completely different issue. : * I am only speaking for John Polstra, a compiler guy, here. Speaking for Satoshi Asami, the ports guy, I agree with John. I for one will hate to see the ports people having to worry about 4.0-gcc (they already have 4.0-egcs and 3.1-gcc to worry about...). -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
