I'm just saying I've had it selected for nearly 10 years. I think it was in a lot of example docs, as Dale say, waaaay back. I put it in mine and just left it there. It became almost a superstition with me! ;-) As I am a user type and not a dev, I didn't know then, and actually don't now, that something on the system isn't actually programmed in Fortran and that removing it would cause a problem so I've just left it in forever. It never seemed important enough to go figure out since it only directly effected gcc ebuilds which is a big build and not done very often. I guess I can stop playing scaredicat and remove it. :-) - Mark
