What would the compiler binaries be called?
I have some philosophical issues with:
1) User installs tcl and darwinports using SunSoft cc
2) User installs a bunch of libraries
3) User installs gcc port. Now "gcc" is in their path
4) Future ports use gcc and possibly other non-vendor tools, things don't
link properly
If it only installs ${prefix}/bin/gcc-3.3, I think that would be great. I
would be worried about switching out the "standard" compiler, as defined
by what autoconf finds in 99% of cases.
I would also use this on Mac OS X, FYI, so don't assume it will ony be
used by platforms without gcc standard.
It is somewhat unfortunate that we have a large overlap between the cross
ports, the g77 port, and this future gcc port. g77 might interfere with
some of the libraries, yes? Can we only have one port for all gcc
frontends?
