As tested by me and a rather hairy C++ project by jdp. If you can tell me a newer SNAP that would be stable for you, I'll be more than happy to upgrade the port. I don't want to see two versions of EGCS in the ports collection. I want the one I maintain to be as stable as possible.

Nope, not by me. Lets find a newer SNAP that works for you. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
