Cool.  Thanks!

This just (a few minutes ago) worked for me.

I'm curious: would another solution have been to define CC=gcc-3.2 in
gar.conf.mk?  Then I would be using the new compiler (which apparently
produces better code most of the time) for the whole operation, no?

I guess there's a way to override the default settings on a
per-package basis, such that VTE could have CC=gcc-3.2 and the rest of
the stuff could use 2.95...Is there some sort of conditionalisation
available within gar.conf.mk, so I could do something like:

if ( there-exists gcc-3.2 ) {
        CC=gcc-3.2
} else {
        CC=gcc
}

or some such...?

Anyway, thanks for the tips.

Keep up the good work.

Eric
