Hi!

I was wondering why 4.0-Current still uses gcc 2.7.x instead of gcc 2.8.1,
which is available in the ports. gcc 2.8.x supports 586/686 optimization
and much more, whereas 2.7.x will compile for 486 processors. Are there
any compatibility problems involved when replacing 2.7.x by 2.8.x? If not,
why isn't 2.8.1 the standard compiler included in FreeBSD?


Ciao,
Thomas.
