I'm not arguing the rest of your points, but I'm curious about this one. IIRC, the last thing a full bootstrap of GCC does, after building stage one binaries with the native compiler, stage two binaries with the stage one binaries and stage three binaries with the stage two binaries, is compare the stage two and stage three binaries. If they're not the same, then you have a problem. I don't see how this fits with what you're saying. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Only a nerd would worry about wrong parentheses with square brackets.
