I don't mind having both cc and gcc on my disks, but `cc' is the name of the system compiler. Since our system compiler is gcc, I'd expect both links to exist. Having a compiled named gcc is a GNU'ism that has stuck with us now, but having a compiler called cc is something that is part of what I've learned to call Unix. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
