  At the risk of sounding as if I'm complaining, I think the "phase
errors" betweeen the ps, kernel, and gcc packages is getting to be
enough hassle that the various maintainers should get together and agree
on something and stick to it. Evertime a new version of one comes out,
it seems to be a huge hassle getting it to work with the other two.

  I think the original posting identifies a real trouble spot, and I
hope something can be done by the people involved to promote better
interoperability.

    I admit that when I was in school I wrote COBOL. But I didn't compile.
