Well, Lyndon, this is quickly turning into a flamefest. Despite the fact that it's no big deal, really. The system compiler in all Unixen is called `cc', and in FreeBSD one cann depend to find the system compiler called `cc'. It so happens that our system compiler is the GNU C Compiler, and the GNU'ism of calling it gcc is not *that* bad. I mean come on, all this arguments coming and going to and for, for a couple or so of hard links? It really is not worth it, is it? -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
