Re: [MiNT] gcc-4.5.2-mint-20110206

[Paul Wratt <paul.wratt@gmail.com>]

Thanks for that Vincent, another great work and mile stone completed

Thanks also to the others, Mikro, etc who contributed to the last
month or 2 of fixes and improvements

(with a bit of testing) It is looking like a clean distro for
SpareMiNT will be possible again, just in time for the latest AES,
Desktop and updated kernel release, and right when FireBee is begining
to be usable for more than just a few people..

Thanks again

Paul
