The comments about gcc42 are so far are the same as with most gcc version changes. I'm preferring gcc-4.1.x because there won't be any surprises from it, although there are over a dozen PR patches and backports. Building the kernel, for example, with gcc42 is going to be unstable for months to come. With rare exceptions (glibc-2.3.3), Glibc releases tend to be stable/predictable, but I'd like to stay with glibc-2.5 and let everyone else stabilize packages against glibc-2.6. I'm trying uClibc-0.9.29 now, with gcc's libssp. I feel that they released it too quickly, just to merge nptl into their trunk, but it has better gcc4 compliance than uclibc-0.9.28.3. I'm not wasting more time trying to get gcc4's ssp working natively with uClibc, until some distro's get it working... the bug is too bizarre. Gcc's libssp has _fortify_source checking, which is a major advantage. robert
