hm, very intersting, but the gcc is the only difference.  Hm, or is it the 
binutils?
I have 
sys-devel/binutils
      Latest version available: 2.16.1
      Latest version installed: 2.16.1

hm, for me, kde 3.5-beta2 and rc1 are even more stable than any other release 
ever.

I had not one crash or misbehaviour so far - which is very promising. 

But if you want to recompile with ggcc3.4 don't you need to recompile qt and 
kdelibs too?
I am not sure, but prior experiences with 3.2 and 3.3 told me, that 
kdepackages can be pretty annoying if not compiled with the exact same 
compiler.

Glück Auf
