Don't despair, matters will improve: Today David committed egcs sources to the src/contrib directory of the FreeBSD -current source tree! The committed egcs is a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 with a couple of FreeBSD patches - I have not checked and built yet. Next to ports/lang/egcs there also showed up a ports/lang/egcs-devel during todays cvsup import. What does this mean? -current is the development tree of the FreeBSD system that will become FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE in about a year. Recent discussion on the freebsd-current mailing list showed consensus that -current will switch to egcs soon, mostly because gcc 2.7.2.1's C++ support is not adequate anymore -that's why it is clear that David et al will tackle libstdc++!- the argument against the move to egcs was the danger to loose system stability. but heck, that's what -current for! So an egcs version a bit behind the development version will become -current system compiler and a bunch of daemons will put their forks into egcs and the system to make it solid. Regards, Marc
