<pedantic> Of course you can't use this compiler to compile the kernel
since I don't think it would be possible to compile the kernel with a C++
compiler. </pedantic>
OTOH, NetBSD is using egcs and compiling everything (including the
kernel) with -O2 on all ports; would it be that hard to get the FreeBSD
system source to compile correctly with that optimization level on egcs?
