I really rather wish ya'll would develop a new compiler already instead of bellyaching over how GCC/GNU philosophy is ruining everything. Not that you're really saying anything like that, but it seems like a common sentiment among the userbase, and I really would be interested in seeing (and supporting) a new C compiler. I do think you can do better. GCC is pretty slow, for example. -- Michael Bacarella <mbac@mmap.nyct.net> ;finger address for public key GPG Key Fingerprint: B4E4 82F5 BCAC AB83 E6F7 B5AA 933E 2A75 79A4 A9C1 Technical Staff / New York Connect Net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
