The GNU mailing lists including help-gcc (a.k.a. gnu.gcc.help) should
only be used to help promote free software.

Developers who won't make the software free are not cooperating with
us.  They don't deserve our help.  So please don't advertise non-free
programs on the FSF mailing lists.

	    Actually, it's worse than that.  If you install gcc then
	    all include files in /usr/include are useless because they
	    are for Sun's cc.

I have never heard of such a problem, and I cannot imagine how it
might exist.  As far as I know, the standard include files on a Sun
work with GCC; that is the only way anyone can compile anything with
GCC on a Sun.  I used to use GCC on a Sun and I know it worked.

Why do I make a fuss about this?  Because if you think you have seen a
bug, you should send a usable bug report with details from which the
bug can be reproduced.  Warning other users of nebulous but serious
problems without telling maintainers enough to fix them is just about
the nastiest thing a user can do to a software developer.  I don't
think nastiness is your intent--so could you please do something more
helpful?
