I've already rebuilt the majority of sparemint with gcc 4.4.3. There is almost no incompatibilities. In fact normal ports almost always compile well while mint specific packages are the ones that fail.I have a great number of older sources with which to learn Atari/MiNTLib patch process, ones that are within the time frame of the current easymint distribution. Most of those sources are changed considerable with current versions, so I would be loathed to add 4.5.0 compatibility to those older sources as well (I am talking about 100-200 source packages).I would be surprised if all of those packages would fail to build in GCC4. Others can speak to this more than I can, but there is not a huge compatibility gap, unless there is assembly in the code.Keith
