Yes, but this is stuff already in stable. Almost everything in sarge
should be compiled with gcc 3.2 or 3.3. There are some exceptions,
such as old-KDE and some other old libs (C++ ABI changes). It might be
worth someone tracking down the va_args patch for 3.0, but I'm certainly
not going to do it.

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
