While that would be possible, I don't think it's desireable. There would be quite some chance that importing new gcc snapshots would break either ghdl or the bootstrap, since these combinations aren't tested. > Or do I have to use the gcc sources and compile it separately in a > manner that doesn't clobber the files of the existing gcc packages? I'd prefer this. -- Falk
