The proposal is s/USE_GCC=any/USE_GCC=yes/. Ah, OK, sorry I've misunderstood. I think I see your point now. Since I like antique compilers, and since many software, when being properly written, can be built just fine with GCC 4.2, I won't be a huge supporter of this proposal, but OTOH this situation probably won't last long, so I won't profoundly object either. ./danfe
