Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Using a FreeBSD-3.4 box, I notice that it uses gcc version 2.7.2.3. This came out in January 1997, which seems rather an old version to use. Can anyone tell me why this is so? I haven't yet found out what version of gcc is standard with the latest FreeBSD versions. Has it changed? Where can I get this sort of information on the FreeBSD website?
