The gcc 4 in our repository already has a *-*-haiku target. We need to get 
the host support going and then I'd commit patches to the gcc guys. Regarding 
when that's supposed to happen -- I've started to re-port the tool chain 
(currently I'm still messing with Perl) and when I'm through with gcc2 I 
intend to have a look at gcc 4 again. How long that will take depends mostly 
on how many Haiku bugs I'll encounter on the way and how much time I'll have.

CU, Ingo
