Also note that this will not work as straightly as described there with gcc 
4.3, which is currently the default compiler Haiku comes with. There's a 
serious problem with pre-compiled headers that causes the compiler to crash. 
I was hoping Haiku r36263 would fix it, but it doesn't. I've also found 
nothing in the gcc 4.4 change log that suggest that it was a gcc and not a 
Haiku problem.

Is that possible again? I sent an SCA to Sun in late February, but was told 
that "because of the ongoing acquisition of Sun by Oracle, we 
cannot accept this SCA at this time. We will try and let you know when 
the situation has been resolved." I haven't been contacted yet at least.
