If you really need GCC 4.6, then I suggest you use it :) You don't have to wait for another year for the release of 4.6.0; you can compile from the sources any day. OK, you might run into bugs but your reports would then be very valuable; the fixes would make it into 4.6.0. Note that the end of Stage 1 is scheduled for today; from then on the sources of GCC 4.6 will be quite stable (no new features, bug fixes only). > I'd really like to develop for the NXT system, too. =A0[...] FTR, I'd be interested too if I had more time on my hands. My son is only 5, so it's a bit too soon for him anyway. It would be great if Debian would include a cross-compiler for the NXT, nicely packaged and ready to go... -- Ludovic Brenta.
