6 | Yeah, that's not what I've been talking about at all, what's your
7 | point? I was saying that gcc-3.4 and better is stable everywhere

12 Tradition for toolchain stuff has always been that anything allowed by
13 the profile is considered acceptable for general use. So, if users
14 shouldn't be using 3.3, the profile should be changed to say so. Until
