Hello,

i noticed more and more programs on linuxpackages,
which are compiled with the gcc 3.4.
So I ask for your experience with this new one,
especialy when compiling the kernel.

Will i open pandoras box with installpkg gcc-3.4.0-i486-1.tgz?

Peter

At this point I see no need to make a move to 3.4. I am sure there may
advantages to it but right now to stay in line with 10.0 I wouldn't
switch. I only found one package on LP that was built with gcc 3.4
and that one has been removed for that reason.

I've not built a kernel, but have had problems with many audio apps with
3.4. It seems that a lot of people are still catching up with whatever
source code modifications are required to keep 3.4 happy.

I've gone back to 3.3.4, and would recommend waiting until the dust
dies down a little before upgrading.

I wouldn't suggest moving aswell. Alot of programs won't compile (most
popular one is Wine).
stick with 3.3.4 for now till PV makes it (3.4x) offical.

Thanks for all answers.
Will wait also.
