11 2006.0 is still a ways off, but yes, all of the stages would be built
12 with gcc 3.4 exclusively. Of course, this would happen whether we made
13 the change globally (for x86) or if we only did it via profile. The
14 problem with doing it via profile is we *already have* people on 2005.0
15 and 2005.1 profiles running gcc 3.4, so it means causing a much more
16 disruptive upgrade for all ~x86 users, or anyone who has merged gcc 3.4
17 explicitly already.
