I don't see a problem with supporting it if it comes really cheap, but I wouldn't like having to live with a set of kludges if it's only for the sake of keeping an old gcc around. Aside from this, maybe someone should tell the Haiku folks that it won't cost them a dime in license fees to upgrade their gcc sometime :-) -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
