We will have to give some serious consideration to
using Apple gcc-4.2 compiler from Xcode >= 3.1 shortly.
The ppl cvs which will become the next ppl release requires
gcc > 4.0.3 to build. This means that ppl > 0.9 will no
longer build against Apple's stock gcc 4.0.1 compiler.
It does build fine against the Apple gcc-4.2 compiler in
Xcode 3.1. If the FSF gcc developers decide to upgrade the
ppl requirement to the upcoming release for building the
graphite support in gcc 4.4.0, we will have to build the
fink ppl package with Apple's gcc-4.2.
This of course means that the gcc44 package will only
be available on 10.5 and not 10.4. This also leads to the
question of whether we might want to create a 10.5-gcc4.2
branch and start building everything in fink with gcc-4.2.
