Is there something non-deterministic in the compilation process? Ideally, version x of gcc should produce the same output natively as when cross-compiling. Or have I missed something important? (I'm actually quite fond of the idea of dist-cc sending pre-processed C code to remote (faster) machines and getting unlinked object code back. I haven't got a good use for it yet, but the _idea_ is neat.) -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] "No survivors?
