The specific > kludgery is a couple of lines like 'rm -f intl/config.cache' and 'rm -f > intl/stamp-h'. I think this will be benign if an upgrade happens. I'm not familiar with src-release so I have no idea whether this will be a problem. What will happen eventually is, gcc/intl will be copied over to src/intl, and everyone's configure scripts will be modified to match. Testing this change is a bit daunting, which is one of the reasons I haven't gotten to it. Help would be appreciated. (Note I am moving, so I may not respond to mail in a timely fashion for the next week or so.) zw
