Alexey,
What I had in mind was to default fink to use the gcc-4.2 and
g++-4.2 compilers if present on a system but to allow both the
ability to override this behavior on an info file basis as well
as system-wide through an optional entry in fink.conf.
I really would be a good idea to beat on the GCC 4.2 Developer
Preview as much as we can. I've already have an open radar on
the octave code misgeneration bug which happens on Macintel for
both Apple's gcc 4.0.1 and 4.2.1 compilers but not for FSF
gcc 4.2.2. If we want such issues fixed in the near-term, now
is the time to get them up on radar.
Jack
ps I would note that Apple has been responsive on these issues.
The problems with the blockdata initialization support required
for ncarg, which I reported earlier this month, is already fixed
for the upcoming Xcode 3.1 release.
