   super, for me as a ebuild writer its important with source, eg if tarball   
   change md5 there is a big problem on gentoo, no kidding

   could you unpack both in seperate dir, and then do   
      
   diff -urp ./sf.net-source ./gert-source > gerts.patch   
      
   and then upload the gerts.patch to sf.net   
      
   then more could help stablelize it :)

   i will update this in ebuild now so

   sf.net is not a problem from gentoo ebuilds since i can change to mirror or   
   make the ebuild turn of mirror so i control with source to use even if on diff   
   mirrors :)

   if Janis want to start using gentoo its important that i make good ebuilds :)

   its like titanic sinking :)

   is 3.2.9a possible to download as tarball now ?, or is it just in cvs ?

   3.2.9 seqfaults here, but i have a 3.2.7 that is static linked, atleast so   
   titanic dont sink :)

   have you found with gcc that compiles stable ?
