In my opinion porting involves adding to an existing source to have it run on a new system. Having to compile WebKit on GCC 2.95 (if that is even possible, which I doubt) would require a fork, not a port, because I have little confidence that the WebKit project would accept patches which riddle the code with #ifdefs and hacks to support an ancient compiler. I would rather not have to fork it. I will make some more efforts to compile WebKit with GCC 2.95, but the initial #define problem does not give me much confidence it will go smoothly. Ryan
