Yes, I've mentioned two issues there, first is huge size of gcc
package (7*2 targets = 112 MB only for libs!) and its compilation
time, second is our needs. Second thing implies the first one. So if
we don't need mintlib for more than 3 targets, we don't need gcc for
more than 3 targets. And *if* someone in the future will need
something else, we just enable it in gcc (it's matter of few lines,
everybody can do it, not only Vincent). I really see no point to have
+112 MB on my Atari + compilation time for one afternoon even on my PC
:-/

Does it? I thought kernel needs libgcc only in 68000 version because
of long mul/div emulation.
