Using the ports collection /usr/ports/lang/egcs ive sucessfully built the egcs compiler and did get it installed...... On a whim... and for curiosity sake i then tried to rebuild a 2.2.7 kernel with egcs... it built with some minor warning messages and installed.... rebooted and all seems stable...... taking this a step further......... i installed egcs over the default gcc 2.7.2 and ran a buildworld, IT did rebuild everything............. i then ran installworld........... that also worked........ so it seems ive just completely recompiled FreeBSD 2.2.7 with the ports egcs snapshot, everything runs fine and is stable.......... IT WORKED......... but should i expect any less from freebsd ;) only thing is it rebuilt the default gcc when i ran makeworld and installworld re-installed the default gcc 2.7.2 ........ Question can i uninstall the default gcc package and just use egcs..........???? if so how would i do this.......... It is stable and did re-build everything......... so it seems im now running a completely egcs compiled version of FreeBSD 2.2.7 compiled with the following ......... COPTFLAGS= -O2 -fexpensive-optimizations -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe how do i just rid myself of gcc 2.7.2 ????
