I tend to keep out-of-the-box gcc on the side for development, though
that’s for a few perhaps peculiar reasons. (Partly to keep alive the
remote possibility of my trying out Gnat, which Gentoo doesn’t really
support. You need a running and perhaps recent Gnat to build Gnat.)
I consider SSP a good thing. It is an attempt to make up for C/C++
programming, which is a bad thing.
