As Alan has pointed out, it's ok to compile w/ gcc. We don't compile libraries that offer C++ interfaces that way because they have no ABI, however. There are parts of SFW that use gcc because they really don't want to compile any other way - Bart Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts
