But besides of this fact, which was my very own fault, i'm very happy
with gcc-3.4. I thought, that maybe some c++ packages would fail to
compile, as I'm a c++ devel myself and know that there are differneces
in the c++ code that gcc-3.3.x and gcc-3.4.x are accepting. However, I'm
running gcc-3.4 now on 2 of 3 gentoo boxes i'm mentaining and are very
pleased with the results.
