GCC 2.5 is not reliable enough for general use at this point. When it is, I'm sure it will appear in both NetBSD-current and FreeBSD-current. I can speak authoritatively when I say that a new version of GCC will not go into NetBSD until it has succeeded in some pretty hefty regression testing. Even 2.4.5 had its problems; I remember debugging it. It would be foolish and irresponsible of us to simply jump on the latest version. -- - Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu a straight dressing, mentally unchallenged, vertically unchallenged, ..., English-American of no color, no religion, and a strong mating preference for people of gender.
