I do not recall which pieces I had in mind back then. In general I did make the experience (updating the GCC ports for FreeBSD) that there is a lot of "interesting" software out there and that with every major release of GCC we are breaking a number of them, mostly via GCC frontend changes (code using templates being the primary case) and especially libstdc++. Let's go ahead, brace for impact, and just fix whatever pops up. To be fair my impression is that over the last couple of GCC releases moving from one to the next has (again) become smoother than in the past. Gerald
