nope. gcc 2.x isn't well tested enough for NeXT.  NeXT grabbed a chunk of
features off of gcc2.x (the c++ came from there, i think) and stuck it in
the same old gcc1.37.

Personally, I prefer gcc2.x, so i use that on our NeXTStep 2.[12]
machines, though when I tried to use it on our NeXTStep 3.x
machines, it turned out that NeXT had done some funky stuff with
headers (macros inside #include directives) that the gcc-cpp can't
handle. :(  Does anyone know if the NeXTStep 3.0 cpp is GNU based,
(so we can get the source)?
