The troubles with g++ under XCode 1.5 and the lack of any quick response from Apple, combined with earlier incidents of an analogous nature, lead me to ask: would we be better off with a fink gcc package in place of the Developer Tools? As I understand it, the Apple compiler team has been good about pushing their changes upstream. Would we lose anything by relying on FSF gcc rather than Apple's releases?
Out of a gut feeling I am very much opposed to this. Would this not also mean, that we would have to supply our own binutils and linker stuff or is that all one package now? Furthermore I really doubt that the FSF gcc brings all the features the Apple supplied one does and until that has been established we'd go down a rather daring road. I would also think that we do lack the resources to support all the questions that might be popping up once we supply our own package. Not only would we have to ask "did you compile with Xtools or with Fink gcc" we would also have to learn what symptoms are shown by wish compiler and so on.
But as I said, it is a gut feeling, so please feel free to correct me :)
