Er, I've never tested whether gcc4 builds under BeOS. It may well be that I left out some patches necessary for BeOS. All I can say is that it runs fine under my SuSE Linux 9.2 installation (updated to gcc4 meanwhile). I suppose most other Linux distributions will work, too. Nathan checked something in for FreeBSD; not sure how far he got there. Axel reported problems under YellowDog Linux (PPC), so I wouldn't expect that one to work. CU, Ingo
