When you say: (ie. not into 1.1*) Do you mean, not merged into the 1.1.1-release that just came out? If the answer to the prev question is that it wasn't merged, how do you rate egcs-current on usability/correctness? thanks, -Alfred > > Cheers, > Jakub To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
