I assume that again the NeXT c compiler will be based around, (include) a gnu  
compiler. 

Which version? gcc 2.?? maybe?

I have some suns I can steal clock cycles off of and would like to install a  
version of gcc to compile some of my non-Interfaced numerical c++ code. I would  
like to minimize incompatibility between the two compilers. 
Any recommendations? 

Which (gnu)c++ Libraries will be most compatible with the new NeXT compiler?

Thanks

rob

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)?

I think it was 1.7 or something, but it was not 2.x.....

I have gcc 2.2.2 running on my system
