No, I think it means that we just don't use GCC 4.0 to build any of the products. That way they work on 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4. I think it is time to officially drop 10.1 support, though. That needs to be discussed.... The actual release note is here: http://developer.apple.com/ReleaseNotes/DeveloperTools/GCC4.html. It says, "C++ applications compiled with GCC 4.0 will run only on systems where libstdc++.dylib is installed. It is installed on all user systems that run Mac OS X 10.4, or that run 10.3.9 or later. To target earlier systems, use Xcode's SDK feature." Mozilla.org already builds their products against the 10.2.8 SDK, to provide backwards compatibility. In addition, if you are building on a 10.4 system, and you want to retain 10.2 compatibility, you will need to set the gcc version to 3.3. That's also explained in the release notes. javier
