Since the 4.0 sources are buildable with Gcc 2.95, it shouldn't take too much time for someone that cared to come up with a patchset to allow 3.4 to be compiled with Gcc 2.95. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
