I've been waiting a long time for this - gcc 2.7.2 should _never_ be used on the sparc, it can produce bad code in quite a few instances (I've already had to hack binutils to use egcc on the sparc.) I'm surprised the i386 (which has less of a problem) beat us to the punch. (I also need egcc to build the X source - because gcc can't generate some of the instructions for the newer sparc chips (32-bit even).) Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]
