I don't understand what the problem would be if we were to put libgcc in its own package in /lib. Most of the stuff on gcc@gcc.gnu.org has been "if I install my own gcc in an AFS-mounted directory, or in /usr/local" which isn't relevant to Debian. Enabling for -static-libgcc for shared libraries which don't use C++ (or Java, and I don't know how Ada and Objective C fit into all this) seems an easy way to get a lot of edge case bugs. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
