Regardless, I suppose I don't understand the need to keep a compiler around in the BLFS book because there are some obscure packages out there that cannot compile with current versions of GCC. However, as was mentioned, there is really no maintenance on our part, so there's really no harm in keeping it. Though if we are going to keep it, it seems bumping up to the most current version (3.3.5, I believe) would be prudent. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 20:33:00 up 23 days, 20:06, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
