If SuSE were to compile Mozilla with the older GCC it would work fine as is evident by using the mozilla.org pkg.
Yeah, and break all packages that use the Gecko render engine like for instance galeon.
So where does that leave those of us who want a fully functional Mozilla? Either uninstalling Nautilus and Galeon or sticking with 8.0, it sounds like. I guess I'll need to decide which to do. Upgrading to 8.1 was a no-brainer. I was going to call around Portland tomorrow and see where it was being sold and buy it. Now I'm not so sure.
Using gcc 2.95.3 to recompile selected packages is no option for us. We're very happy that we no longer have to maintain three different versions of gcc and instead have *one* version that covers *all* platforms we're supporting. That one version is quite enough to maintain. Just take a look inside the GCC source RPM and you'll see a rather larger number of patches we're applying.
You may be happy. I don't discount that or disagree that that's important. But what's the customer who needs Java to be fully functional supposed to think? Preston
