I am on Gentoo Linux and use gcc 3.4.3 (~x86 == unstable) for almost all ebuilds including Python 2.3.5 (x86 == stable). No malfunction so far, and Gentoo depends heavily on Python. _If_ gcc 3.4 compiles a source the resulting binary will work. The only problem is, not all ebuilds compile without errors using gcc 3.4. Simply try it. Bernd -- Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. [T.
