It should be available with GCC 3.1, which will probably appear in unstable soon after Woody is released.* Considering how Woody is in deep freeze, and it's not a terribly essential patch, it won't go into Woody. It's not impossible that it could go into the post-Woody g77-3.0 package, but it seems better to point to g77-3.1 instead of adding a major functional patch to 3.0 at that time. I'm not part of the GCC maintainers, but I believe the above to be accurate nonetheless. * If it's not in GCC 3.1 in some form, there were probably severe problems with it. You can download and compile GCC 3.1 from source <http://gcc.gnu.org>, or you download preliminary packages from <http://ftp-master.debian.org/~doko/gcc> to try it out. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It's not a habit; it's cool; I feel alive.
