Has anyone approached PGI about a donation of a license for a development box |
| 2 |
for us to test against? I've had good luck in dealing with them on issues |
| 3 |
related to Gentoo (they don't sneer at it like some vendors). They even got me |
| 4 |
a patch in 72 hours to their compiler to work around the fact that Gentoo seems |
| 5 |
to handle /usr/lib, /usr/lib32, and /usr/lib64 the opposite of the other vendors |
| 6 |
of amd64 distros. |

It certainly never hurts to ask. |
