No, I know. I just don't want to cause a deliberate dependency problem if
I can help it. Since the only source I have immediate access to right now
is the 2.7.2.3 code that's in the hamm/source tree, so I figured I'd try
it. Plus, we don't really have 2.7.2.2 compiled yet either, so we might
as well try while we can (from what I remember, g77-support was much
better since 2.7.2.1, which is where we are now).

That's good to know. By the way, how's the testing going with that? Is
it happy with C++ stuff? Plus, how frequent are the snapshots being
updated? I'm just curious since I'm too busy to keep up with egcs
development.
I would guess that we could eventually switch over to it, but I'd
personally rather see an official "release" before switching. I think
I'll check it out now since I have a little time :)
