Hi Adrian,

well, considering that woody's default compiler is gcc 2.95 I don't see a
reason to compile it with gcc-3.2. That would basically mean that I would
need to do a woody transition to gcc-3.2 completely and there's no way I'm
going to do that :-)

I'm building woody only and woody is - as you surely know - relying on 2.95 as
its compiler.

If people are mixing their woody installations with stuff from testing and
unstable they clearly have to know what they're doing - because they'll run
into such problems.

Either stick with woody (my repositories are large enough to fulfill the
current desktop user's needs and you can get OO and Mozilla elsewhere) or go
with testing and unstable.
