Slackware != Gentoo On Gentoo we have to provide support for each possible combination of USE flags, CFLAGS, and compiler versions on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, on little endian and big endian systems, and with mix of stable and testing packages. Slackware just has to get things to compile and work once. -Tom -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
