Hi.
As I see in the sources, FreeBSD 6.0-Current is still based on gcc 
3.4.4. I think due to code freezing this version will be the platform 
compiler when 6.0-RELEASE comes out. Are there any plans using a more 
recent version of gcc, like 4.0 or 4.1? On some lists I read something 
about better support of the features of AMD64/EM64T architectures, 
especially SSE3.

Thanks.
Oliver
