GCC still has a few bugs left, so stripping it is RS> not advisable. On the other hand, most users are not able to debug gcc themselves but only wait for bugfixes; so it might not be a bad idea to strip the binaries by default. -- _______________________________________________________________ Peter Mutsaers, Bunnik (Ut), the Netherlands.
