Re: [gentoo-dev] GCC 3.4 and ~x86

[Daniel Goller]

2004.0/2004.1? time warp? 2005.0/.1?

assuming the slightly stronger code strictness doesn't cause to many 
nasty bugs and assuming we can iron out all the ICEs.

^^ yeah sure like we will have more devs help test a new toolchain, you 
forget it doesnt come with translucency and shadows, something that 
guarantees you plenty of (dev) testers, what's gcc, just some thing 
portage calls to build stuff, who would care about that?
so much easier to complain about things than help fix them
