      Such obsolete features are the use of old kernel headers, old gcc
yann@1300
    13
      versions, etc... for which maintaining support in crosstool-NG
yann@1300
    14
      would be very costly.

      It does not however mean that the specific feature or version has been

      If you are tight on space, then you can ask to gzip the saved states
yann@121

yann@1300

      To lose as less time as possible, the gzip process is done with a low
yann@121
    75
      compression ratio (-3), which gives roughly 70% gain in size. Going
yann@121
    76
      further doesn't gain much, and takes far more time (believe me, I've
yann@121
    77
      got figures here! :-) ).

yann@1064

      and your locale is not an english language, then dissecting your
