Gentoo stable appears to be gcc-4.7.3-r1. ebuilds up to gcc-4.9.1 are present in the tree. Upgrading gcc is painful, so I appreciate the maintainers not forcing a rebuild with every version bump. That's the philosophy behind "stable". The tradeoff is that we have to wait longer for "new and shiney" stuff. For those who want it, you can always keyword a later version of gcc. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
