I believe we should stay away from GCC extentions, and use ANSI C as much as possible. This is because I expect and hope GCC will become a better and more standard compliant compiler over time, and we should not have to change the code when this happen. But I do not think we will support building in Woody for other reasons. There are lots of packages we need when building which are missing in Woody. So, I believe the use of this extension should be removed, but we should not make an effort to get d-i building in Woody. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
