Sorry for the *late* reply, but we are just catching up. The situation seems to have improved, but I will probably need to switch to gstabs mips[el] and possibly armel, our current build machines seems to don't have enough RAM+SWAP. It would be cool to be able to have a switch/environment variable for this. Kinds regards, Lisandro. -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
