This brings up a couple of issues.

1) Will Mandrake now have to keep 2.9x gcc in 9.0 for a couple of select
packages (like Mozilla, Galeon)

2) Will we be seeing a rebuilt Mozilla?

I'm glad that Java will once again work, but disappointed that this is
necessary because of Sun dragging their feet. It shouldn't take months
for a rebuild, especially when they've said they already have made the
code 3.[12] clean for 1.4.1. :(
