Hey, off-topic post/Qs, but maybe some of you guys know ...
1) What's the deal with GCC 2.95.4? I've seen at least one distro,
Mandrake (7.2 was it?), ship with it. I heard it wasn't really
"in-line" with GCC 2.95.3 or at least not recommended. I just grabbed
SuSE 7.3 and it seems they are still [smartly] using 2.95.3.
2) Other than that, is GCC 3.02 supposed to be the "most backward
compatible" release now? I just downloaded the latest MPlayer (a great
media player if you haven't found one yet ;-) and even they seem to give
it an indirect "thumbs up (at least versus 3.00/3.01, let alone 2.96, in
their GCC 2.96 "rant" page, with foul language I might add so you _know_
they hate it ;-).
3) Lastly, anyone know where one can get pre-made 2.95.3 RPMs for
RedHat 7.x?
Thanx ...
