Details

i suggest that the pkgbuild for gcc in base/ should only download the tarballs actually needed to compile GCC with the 3 languages supported in Arch right now.

if i am wrong teach me otherwise but i prefer not to download about 20megs extra. :)

the pkgbuild for Arch/PPC is going to look like this:

i forgot to mention the most important advantage of my version, silly me. here it is:
you don't really have to provide --enable-languages=c,c++,objc for the first run to get the old libstc++. only c++ will be enough whith greatly influences time needed to compile the first step.
