curl, testing and gcc-3.2 (?) (was Re: Debian curl package depends on gcc-3.2?)

[cavok@filibusta.crema.unimi.it (Domenico Andreoli)]

hi,

i don't really know where that gcc-3.2 is coming from. as you can see
curl doesn't depend on it explicitly.

anyway debian has migrated to gcc 3.2 as default compiler and i build
curl with gcc 3.2 since a couple of releases ago. maybe it is required
someway. i'm CC debian-devel@, maybe some kind soul might help here

cheers
