Re: [ANNOUNCE] t2 8.0 trunk GCC-4.3 ISO

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that over the last weeks we fixed
not only the minimal subset for GCC-4.3 we released in the early
adopter technology preview, but additional the whole extended
desktop package subset.

This email is already typed from a core2 duo optimized desktop
flavour with GCC-4.3, including X.org, Firefox to Thunderbird
...

However, mostly due to the new MPFR dependency, cross compiling
GCC (canadian cross) became a whole lot more difficult and
requires more T2 adaption than I would like. So the update commit
of our gcc package to 4.3.0 is still some days off, until I
- or someone else - finds the time to finalize some deeper
restructuring.
