ExxxxCUSE me? Care to explain how this has any relevance at all?
gcc-2.95 is going to somehow break without a SYMLINK to 3.3? It's going to
require a RECOMPILE because a SYMLINK TO A COMPLETELY UNRELATED VERSION ISN'T
PRESENT!?
Do you have any idea how idiotic that sounds? "Yes, you're going to spend
20 hours recompiling for the require functionality because... well... a
symlink was missing that would have forced another unrelated package to be
installed."
Sorry. I've spend time trying to get it to do what I want and amazingly
enough, once there, I had the functionality I wanted.
