:Nope.  Not what I meant as well.

:Current dfports compiles as freebsd-4.8, GCC 2.95.x is configured for the
:FreeBSD fall back.  GCC 3.x is not, we need to move forward into using our
:own uname for compiling ports if you want to rip out gcc 2.95.x like you
:said in your plans on the 1.2 release page.

    Ach, right.  You know I totally forgot we had those uname hacks in
    there.

    We still don't want to rip it out quite yet.  The GCC-3-as-default is
    not something we can do in a week, there's a lot of stuff that is going
    to go into the HEAD branch all at once and it will probably be at least
    two months before we slip the PREVIEW tag again.  So we have time to
    think about how to deal with the ports issue.
