That might be true now -- but it was not true last friday eve.  Two complete 
downloads from two different mirrors (no I no longer remeber which) did not 
yeld 'libint3'

Thats interesting -- the package I had problmes with was 'gcc' specifically 
the first pass parser 'cc1'.  Unless things have changed it would seem to me 
that the flagship compiler would not be considered 'old code'

Totally Agree
