Popular platforms Switched To gcc 3.3.1 on NetBSD

Posted by Hemos on Sunday September 21, 2003 @11:43PM from the updating-upgrading-and-uplifting dept.

Dan writes "The anticipated GCC3.3.1 switch on NetBSD has happened for some of the popular platforms. NetBSD's Matthew Green announced that he has switched the alpha, i386, sparc and sparc64 ports to use GCC 3.3.1 as the default system compiler. At the same time, NetBSD's Matt Thomas announced that the arm ports(acorn26, acorn32, cats, and shark) have been switched over as well."

Nice troll. You know...all I ever hear is Stallman and associated syncophants telling people not to use *BSD because it's not "free", at least by their definition. Which is, of course, the only valid one. Hypocracy indeed.
