I don't see why specific package's need for a newer GCC would mean we have to force all of fink to it. Isn't that the point of having fink versions of gcc so that we don't have to rely on a specific Apple GCC for problem packages? Additionally, are you sure it will really need 4.0.3, since Apple's 4.0.1 is really 4.0.1 + a buttload of patches from later versions of gcc? Having the option of using gcc 4.2 as "gcc" in Fink by default would be good, of course, but I don't think jumping to forcing everything is a good solution just to solve a few specific package issues. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
