One is to convert your system to elf, which is not recommended at all, and requires a lot of hacking and piecing together a somewhat outdated (but still very useful) elfkit, not fun. The elfkit should work with 2.2-stable, and does work fairly well with -current. The second option is to grab the egcs or gcc 2.8 port. With C code everything works fine, with C++ I've had much more mixed results. The newer egcs snapshots and the gcc 2.8 port, have a patch that will fix C shared library problems, however, at least for me, C++ problems abound. This is with my -current box. YMMV. - alex A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip.
