The pkg/DESCR file for the lang/gcc281 port indicates that 2.8.1 is only a port "until its stablity and ability to produce a working kernel and 'make world' has been proven." Since gcc has not been updated since Mar 2 1998, has there been any further progress in showing that 2.8.1 can or can not be stable? A number of the cross-compile and emulation issues would be _much_ easier to resolve with a common compiler. [ for example 2.8.1 supports the -spec attribute which would make it much easier to have both cross-compilers and the ability to use glibc6 (with it's crt0.o etc files) to build FreeBSD elf executibles with Linux libraries. ] Has the 2.8.1 failed for a stable release of 3.0?
