Thanks for the patch for libcap. As for upgrading gcc, I'd have to say probably O.K. now, a few weeks ago I ran into some issues with 4.4.5(kernel wouldn't compile and libc) ended up just downgrading to 4.4.0 since I was focusing on building the rest of the system for myself. But that has probably been fixed now. -- Justin P.
