shouldn't be. I've done builds with this configury, and it's fine (as of 
sunday.)

mostly, i need to finish up locale.

secondly, wchar_t needs to be selectively enabled on targets that support 
it, instead of what happens currently (new abi == stdio interface == no 
wchar_t specializations.) 

None of these things are insurmountable, it's just a question of time. At 
the moment I'm concentrating more on build issues than feature issues. 
Hopefully this will be less of a focus once we get the remaining 
platforms for gcc-3 working again (HPUX/aix)
