Hi,

Excellent information, i didn't know it.

Just right now i finished to recompile with gcc-2.7.2 and my first
attempt was with Eraser...., later i will do with some older mods.

Working, is working again man with no problems, i'm very bussy now, in
the next days i will come back and i will put the gcc-2.7.2 binaries
in site.

Great news.

Thanks, a lot of thanks.
