I have a chroot with the gcc links pointed to gcc-4.1, just as if
gcc-4.1 was the default compiler.

Truth is I have no idea what hardware we have on m68k. We have too many
subarchs for me to begin to keep up, some of which do have pci slots.

If you think, as the maintainer, that p-a-s is the way to go, then I'll
make that request.

I'm mostly concerned because the bug causing openal to fail is fixed in
gcc-4.1 and I have six packages dep-waited on openal.

Thanks,

Stephen
