Bad enough they broke libc with the 4.2 -> 5.0 upgrade(I did NOT enjoy editing the binary of my java compiler to get it to work under Glibc at that time), but now they've pushed through another zapper by partially switching over to egcs. Just the C++ part, mind you, C is still compiled by gcc. Ever compile a C++ program that was authored under gcc with egcs' strictly ANSI C++ compiler? Not fun. I ordered Bo last week so I can remove this RH beast from my hard drive before it gets outta control. I figured any distribution that's currently _beta_ testing a libc -> glibc transition has got to decently stable and organized. Mark -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
