Iff the bug reporter would have selected gcc-4.4.3 being the active version using 'gcc-config', his chrome should have been working IMO. But I don't think this is an acceptable fix: Instead, gcc-config should sort available gcc's libdirs into /etc/ld.so.conf by /descending gcc-version independent of which one is currently selected/, as gcc libraries are backwards compatible AFAICS when they have the same SONAME. For linking, the selected compiler's libs are used anyway. /haubi/ -- Michael Haubenwallner Gentoo on a different level
