I've found the snapshots change just too much to depend on them for projects. I'm positive, a non-release version of EGCS will not be used as a new compiler in FreeBSD proper. And, it is best if this Sparc effort targets the most likely compiler that will become part of FreeBSD. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
