I haven't seen anything on this list about this, so I'll ask: gcc 2.7.1 was recently release, and it seems things compile this time around, whereas 2.7.0's libg++ was totally broken. I'm kind of tired of gcc 2.6.3 and all its bugs, I want some new bugs to play with. Unfortunatly I don't know enough about freebsd's linker and assemlber to get things going. I tried compiling things out of the box, it configured and built fine, but the assembly it produced had some '.weak' macro that /usr/bin/as didn't understand. I tried GNU's binutils version 2.6 to get it working but my problems only grew. I figured that the assembler should be producing code that would link okay, but it wasn't. I tried building the GNU linker too, and it liked the stuff the assembler was producing but not the old libraries(crt0.o). I don't know object formats, can someone help? Is the core team planning on moving to the new version sometime? I'm working on a project for school in C++ and its a pain having to deal with different versions of gcc, and gcc-2.6.3's c++ has more bugs than 2.7.x I'm pretty sure. -josh
