I think there is a fatal flaw with the concept of having every gcc4x package contain a gcc split-off such that the newest available FSF gcc is always used. The packages that BuildDepends on gcc must also Depends on a particular gcc4x-shlibs. How exactly will fink dynamically update the Depends

The suggestion itself was missing in Jack's message. It was that the pkg containing the symlinks in %p/bin could, for future gcc4X pkgs, be just called gcc. Existing fink pkgs would obviously not be affected, since all their deps and bdeps involve gcc4X. The suggestion does have the slight

Alexander, I should point out that my aims in refactoring gcc4x for gcc44-4.4.4-1000 and gcc45-4.5.0-1001 were very modest. There has been presistent requests for the creation of co-existing (ie functional) compiler packages for gcc4x. I also needed this for the dragonegg-gcc compiler plugin
