As far as I can tell, compat-gcc contains GCC 3.3.<recent> and gcc contains GCC 4. There shouldn't be any need to ship both GCC 3.4 and 4.0 for ABI reasons; they are supposed to be compatible, and thus libstdc++ will keep the same major soversion. (I guess that the reason for shipping compat-gcc at all is to be able to provide a complete LSB environment? Or is anything in the distro actually built with the compat toolchain?) /Per -- Per Bjornsson <perbj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University
