I should clarify: my bootstrap script does away with the need to *temporarily* use an older gcc version during bootstrap than is available for the platform in |
| 17 |
prefix. If gcc 4-2-4 is simply the only gcc available for $platform at all, even outside the bootstrap, then my bootstrap approach isn't going to improve things. |

It would be amazingly helpful if I could test on those machines; or, if that's not possible, if you could test things for me (though that will probably involve |
| 41 |
quite a few tedious "patch - test again - still broken" cycles). The other systems I can acquire on my own (though of course I certainly wouldn't complain if |
| 42 |
you just have them available). |
