Considering that Apple stayed with gcc 4.0.1 when system 10.5 was  
released last fall, I'm not so sure they'll respond to such requests,  
and we'll certainly never know until they release a new xcode whether  
or not they listened.

fink has gcc 4.3 (and 4.2) available, but they takes so long to  
compile, and have potential compatibility problems with older  
packages, that requiring one of them would be an unusual solution. The  
main reason the newer compilers are available is that apple didn't  
include a fortran compiler with their gcc, so some of the scientific  
packages have to use something other than apple's gcc.

I'll try the guile patch. It will take at least a few days for me to  
get to it.

Thanks for the continued help.
