Workaround for gcc problems.

Workaround for gcc problems. 12/19/2004 03:50 PM
The version of gcc included with XCode 1.5 is known to produce incorrect output from c++ code under certain circumstances. Fink now has a mechanism to warn users about this, and Fink will soon refuse to use the "broken" gcc to compile packages which are known to have this problem. If you have already upgraded XCode to version 1.5, there is a workaround, described here and here . If you have not yet upgraded, you should consider remaining with XCode version 1.2 until the problem has been resolved.
