Heh, OK :-) I'm also quite sure that gcc3.2.1 release will not find it's way to 5.0 and understand the technical points taken to guard this position. That's why I put "possibility and IMHO" at the end of my sentence. A patch will be good to have nevertheless, so we can test things out even if it's not going to 5.0-RELEASE. So this boils down to simple question of time, necessity and willingness to do the patch. Let's end this thread. -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
