I don't have a lot of trust in Gentoo's patches, as they have resulted in completely and utterly unusable ld, and (minor) data loss due to a miscompilation by Gentoo's gcc, in the past. Also, being able to check whether your own software compiles with a GNU toolchain is to me a good thing. --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
