I don't have it on my system and I don't intend to set it up unless I
have a real problem. The fact is, my system is a modified LFS,
composed of more than 500 packages that ALL compiled fine with gcc
4.1.0 (only a few of them required a patch to compile properly).

Actually, all the packages I have seen in the past few months that had
a problem with gcc 4.x just called it a bug and fixed it or (as is the
case with linuxsampler's assembly routines) decided to adapt their
software to take advantage of gcc 4.x new optimization stuff....

Why shall I install gcc 3.4 instead of reporting what a majority of
people call a bug ?

Cheers
