This is at least one user who would prefer it if you didn't. My reasoning is this: my Linux system runs RedHat 5.2, which is glibc-2.0. I don't trust the new kernel 2.2 releases at all. Not an inch. I'm providing services to other people on our LAN on this server, so I'm trying to get as little down time as possible. But I need to ensure that any Ada programs I write will truly cross-compile to a Unix-like machine before I submit them. Likewise I would like to ensure that my development tools are recent as hopefully (n_bugs_fixed > n_bugs_introduced). -- Mike Dimmick
