Hey Benny!

 BP> old cat

For sure.  Seems to me that prior to gcc-2.95.x I was using egcs-1.1.2 on the 
first PC (486) I had booting an early version of Slackware way back when.  
Before that it was whatever version of gcc on Solaris where I first learned C.  
Before that it was F77 (FORTRAN) on VAX/VMS which had nothing to do with gcc.

 BP> no, if no python there is no gentoo

That is why I don't use it.  I do have python since newer glib needs it but 
once that is compiled it isn't required on the targetted system.  I need glib 
for mc and if it weren't for that then glib would get the heave-ho.  :::evil 
grin:::  I find mc too handy for browsing archives and other such activities.

 BP> gentoo need --std=c++14 now

I have stumbled across a few sources that use c++14.  Not much though.

 BP> thats still unstable on gentoo

Not really too surprising.  So which version of gcc are you using?

 BP> thats still masked on gentoo

Again not really surprising, especially if xorg and friends are required.  At 
the moment I notice mesa has issues but they may have fixed it since I last 
looked.  I imagine it is fixed given that the glibc-2.27 release isn't too far 
off.  Usually the end of December.  Then of course will be the release of gcc-8 
which I am guessing will be sometime in the spring.

Life is good,
Maurice

.... Don't cry for me I have vi.
