Not at all, my local diff for that got blown away during the git
transition, but it's a one liner for gcc_4.<something>.inc where you
override SRC_URI to point to svn://bf.ucl.org
I hope you get the semi-shared lib thing to work, since that's what
would be usefull for OE, but I can see the use for static binaries.
Did Richard merge his darwin stuff yet that allows shared libs to have
custom extensions (.e.g .dylib for OSX)? That would make this a bit
easier to handle.
