Another possible approach would be to have a configure test for whatever feature it is that we need in our compiler, and then run through a list that starts with "cc" and goes on to try "egcc" etc until it finds one that works. That way we'll automatically DTRT when OpenBSD upgrades their "cc" to a working one. thanks -- PMM
