Gcc 2.7.2 support. How important is it?

[Kevin Atkinson]

As you all probably know by now Aspell .25 will not compile under gcc
2.7.2 due  to some nasty bugs in gcc 2.7.2.  I hope to get it working
again  soon However I was wondering....

Is it even worth it?  Egcs is available on most unix platforms by now
and it is included in RedHat 5.1 and Debaian Hamm.  So I don't really
see the need to continue to support gcc 2.7.2.

How many of you still have Gcc 2.7.2 as the c++ compiler?  And of those
who still use gcc 2.7.2 how many of you will not be able to upgrade to
egcs of gcc 2.8?

Thanks in Advance.

Note:  To find out what c++ compiler your system has use g++ -v and NOT
gcc -v because many Linux distributions have gcc by 2.7.2 but g++ be
egcs.
