Some well known problem present in our current GCC snapshot appear to be fixed in 3.2. GCC 3.2 is using vendor-independent C++ ABI.

People who were asking for an upgrade got what they deserved :) -- Alexander Kabaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
