Well, if there're header bugs, shouldn't they get fixed before these libs are stabelized ? ;-O > And finally we offer 5 unmasked versions of binutils (newer ones even > have a brand new linker - gold) and 5 versions of binutils-apple.

I've reworked my rule, now: "package build systems MUST NOT enable "-Wall -Werror" (unless explicitly= =20 asked), but developers SHOULD use them for their test builds" cu --=20 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt =3D=3D metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
