ok it will be better all the time. The glibc support is the first big
step. That big application like kde could be build with this compiler
version is true for the most ones. The others will follow. Now we need
to get a stable working system based on this new basis. I give it one
month or a gcc-3.0.4. And then i hope all apps work.
