Out of curiosity, if this goes into effect before 2006.0 is released,

so then I think this may benefit alot of users, especially ones that do
a stage1/2 just so they can shove gcc34 into there system at an early
stage. Also, if gcc34 gets moved to x86, would gcc40 be ~x86? This I see
as a bigger problem for those of us that are already running gcc34. But
I'm sure many ~x86 users would welcome that, after all what fun is ~x86
without some breakage every now and then ;-)
2006.0 is still a ways off, but yes, all of the stages would be built
with gcc 3.4 exclusively. Of course, this would happen whether we made
the change globally (for x86) or if we only did it via profile. The
problem with doing it via profile is we *already have* people on 2005.0
and 2005.1 profiles running gcc 3.4, so it means causing a much more
disruptive upgrade for all ~x86 users, or anyone who has merged gcc 3.4
explicitly already.

Again, would anyone know what will happen to ~x86 gcc?, Will it become
gcc40 or just use the stable x86 gcc for everyone? (except those who are
already playing with gcc40 at their own risk)
