Will do.  Also will include a multilib build just in case.

You'll get over it eventually.

Hm.  Maybe we should start a win98-aholic support system to help wean the
abandoned masses from it?

Right.  I've noticed that.  I still have the multilib partition but am
thinking of rebuilding it and trim down the 32-bit libs some more.  I think
I could get away with quite a bit there.

 BP> 8bit will be portable :-)

It already is.  The only issue there is endianess and that is really easy
to resolve in 8-bit world.

 BP> or is it 7bit :-)

That too.

 BP> okay, i will go back to this msg when i have my opteron rebuild :(

Cool.  It should prove to be worthwhile.

 BP> system libs got brokken last night so its totaly lost :(

Ouch!  I hate when that happens.

That makes it twice as bad.

 BP> yes, have to live with it

It'll be worth it.

Life is good,
