One new problem with gcc4 and ports is that gcc reports the architecture as
haiku instead of beos.
It's also a bit confusing as gcc2 is still beos, so when doing gcc4 builds
configure will almost always fallback to the default arch instead of the
beos alternative.
At least when gcc4 crosscompiling. This causes me to need to port Firefox to
the haiku-platform (or maybe hack the compiler) even though it is ported to
BeOS. (All those ifdefs need to know what haiku is).
So a wiki or such coordinating porting and sharing experience is very much
appriciated.

give them pattern, but not so much to slow their adaptation and learning.
