I don't have a lot of trust in Gentoo's patches, as they have resulted |
| 14 |
in completely and utterly unusable ld, and (minor) data loss due to a |
| 15 |
miscompilation by Gentoo's gcc, in the past. Also, being able to check |
| 16 |
whether your own software compiles with a GNU toolchain is to me a good |
| 17 |
thing. |
