benefit of switching to gcc-3.2 compiled XFree86

Hello,

I'm running a kernel I've compiled with gcc-3.2 for some time now. The desktop environment (garnome) is also compiled with the same cc.
My question is if it's worth installing the XFree86*rpm I've also rpm --rebuild'ed from the distros srpms with gcc-3.2 instead of the distro's default gcc-2.95
BTW it's a linux-ppc box.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

the newer kernels and libC versions are downward compatible, thus you can keep your old XFree binaries.
keep in mind though, that the new gcc (3.2) is NOT compatible to the old libC and kernels (don´t know from which version exactly ), so you can´t transfer these binaries to older (>some months!)versions of linux nor switch back to an older kernel.

out of curiosity, which distro are you using? and: why did you compile these packages from source (because of your distro or because it´s on ppc platform?) or did you do it for other reasons?

They say that gcc-3.2 generates much faster code, especially on the ppc platform.

However, I'm just building gcc-3.2.1 right now ;-)
