This is a fairly old thread now, but I was out of town when it was being discussed so I will put in my opinion now. Since I am one of the main people who needs GCC4 because of my work on WebKit, I certainly would appreciate it if it was fairly easy to use GCC4 applications within Haiku. In that sense I agree with Bruno's argument and logic. But honestly in the context of an Alpha 1, which may be released within a few months, I do not think going with a full GCC4 build is necessary. I doubt I (and whoever may help me) could get a nice WebKit based browser running in that time frame anyhow, so it is not like this will be needed for Alpha 1. I will be happy as long as this option is considered for future Alphas once a good WebKit browser is out (or also if we get a good FF3 port.) Ryan
