No, Debian's gcc does not include the -frepo patch. Unless their is heavy demand for it by Debian users or H.J. Lu includes it in his general Linux versions, I have no plans to add it. Until that happens you'll have to get the Debian source and patch it yourself. It isn't that hard. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1101 E.
