GCC does not have a nice clean build system, nor does it have a nice clean modular setup that allows you to pick and choose language frontends (or arch backends) at anything other than compile time. It's just not designed to let you provide gcc-frontend-c, gcc-frontend-c++, gcc-backend-x86-linux etc packages. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (King of all Londinium) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
