Changing the compiler at the last minute is a Really Bad Idea. The
version of gcc 4.0 released with Mac OS X 10.4 is really out of date
w.r.to the FSF reelase, for that reason. The system (at least,
much of
the Darwin part of 10.4) was built gcc 3.3.
Yes, I understand completely. I know that changing compilers in
mid-stream can lead to trouble. I'm testing the waters with as many
bleedging edge compilers as I can get my hands on to know what kind of
problems to expect. :) (The unfortunate part is breaking them :S )
Thanks for confirming.
There is more recent code available in the cvs. If you go to http://
gcc.gnu.org, you can find details about how to get it. Use a tag
like apple-ppc-50xx (last week, the current one was apple-ppc-5017)
to get code which has been merged with the released FSF gcc-4.0.0.
Building the code is simple. Just follow the instructions in
README.Apple.
Obviously, cautions about pre-release code apply.
