Yup. Wanna go fix a few thousand build systems? And then keep them fixed even when upstream has no understanding of the issues or interest in making it work? Nobody has yet, probably because native compilation works just fine. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- -><- | London, UK
