Lucky you, I'm just through a complete recompile of every =20 port after the gcc 4.2.1 import (unluckily 4.2.1 doesn't fix all known =20 bugs) just to be on the safe side, and a complete recompile after the =20 gcc 4.2.0 import... and it takes nearly a week on my machine. > important.

So the really important thing for you is: How many ports are affected =20 by this change? Does anyone have an estimate for this? If not, does someone has an exhaustive list of affected symbols? I can =20 write a short script which has a look into each installed port to =20 determine if it is affected or not (based upon the assumption that you =20 don't mind if we overlook a few things... I'm not sure if statically =20 linked binaries contain enough information).
