Re: gnustep on redhat 7.0

[Stephen G. Walizer]

I'd suggest not bothering with the gcc maintainers... they are apparently
a little miffed at the RedHat use of a non-release version of the compiler
and will not support it... the full statement is here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-announce/2000/msg00003.html

on a related note, turns out there is an obj-c module for egcs-compat,
it's on disk 2 of the 7.0 install... unfortunately it links against the old
compat glibc, so when compiling the current gnustep core (CVS) it
appears to die when it attempts to resolve symbols in Xlib, which is not
compatible with the old glibc... 

What a mess... I'm about  ready to stick with RedHat 6.2 on my main box,
keep using pgcc 2.95.3, and upgrade X to 4.0 on my own...
