Ah yes, I saw that, butâ

and â does anyone regularily test bootstrapping from
gcc 3.4 on various platforms?
Especially the C++ case is interesting, as I had to
apply several patches (some of them backported myself)
to it to even get LLVM to *compile* (and link), some

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
