For how long should we > delay pushing out a fix for that? mips-irix has been broken for a long time now, and I don't remember seeing any complaint. So I don't think we have that much pressure to produce a good release within a short time frame. If anything, I think it can wait until 6.3. The alternative for the users is to either use 5.3, which was pretty good - or use a patched-up 6.2.1 with the couple of fixes I sent (this may be necessary if they use a very recent version of GCC, I don't know). My two cents, -- Joel
