17 Yes sorta 1.4.
18 I still have production servers in place that were based on the
19 Gentoo-1.2/4 era. The smooth migration path away from 1.4 profiles
20 correlates to having a proper default-linux/$ARCH/gcc2 profile.
21 So far it looks as if only x86 has made this move while every other arch
22 appears to be letting the <=1.4 profiles rot.
