To clarify: we keep old versions of gcc in the tree for a reason, and it's not because we're history buffs. "Doesn't build with GCC x.x" alone is nev= er grounds for removal. "Is unmaintained and doesn't build with GCC x.x" is perfectly fine, however, and some people use the gcc trackers to identify s= uch packages. Maybe that's the correlation you see. --=20 fonts, gcc-porting, it makes no sense how it makes no sense toolchain, wxwidgets but i'll take it free anytime @ gentoo.org EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 06= 62 --Sig_/7q2YsnYjewuqGiUnzC0iEZY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk6VBdUACgkQiqiDRvmkBmJ2qgCg4WqxUZSP7U8hR7fI5AWXWoqg cgQAn3ajV94RXeFT19wo46kix4hRpafn =McnT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/7q2YsnYjewuqGiUnzC0iEZY--
