Oh, so you don't need the sparemint packages and don't want that other
people port existing unix applications to sparemint?

I don't ignore anything.

And you also can't help to recompile rpms due to a lack of time, right?

I badly reacted? I just wanted to clear out that gcc 3.x not only have
advantages and that the advantages must be compared against the
disadvantages. I know this 'guy' personally, he is happy that the cc1 now
compile 5% faster on his Falcon030. Do you really think he like to upgrade
to a cc1 that compile much slower with the win of 1% or 2% in the produced
executables?
