I've been building KDE 3.4 with GCC 4 every since GCC 4.0.0 was put in portage. There have been slight issues with individual packages, but it DOES compile on it, and in fact has /always/ done so, here. I've seen reports that it refused to compile with gcc4, but I don't know where they are coming from, unless either gcc4 or kde were installed from tarball instead of from the portage tree. Mine came from the portage tree, so it's possible the original sources refused to compile, but Gentoo patched out that detection or something. (I'm also running the individual split KDE packages, not the old category-package ones also in portage, and not the -meta ebuilds, if that makes a difference.) No luck with xorg, tho, yet, tho the 6.8.2-r2 is supposed to contain some gcc-4 fixes. (I'm running the 6.8.99.x snapshot builds.) However, I haven't retried in awhile, or with gcc-4.0.1-rc1 (pre200506dd in portage), so it's possible some combination of gcc4 and xorg now works. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
