>Are you sure Flash Player is compiled with GCC? Last I heard, Flash Player is built and released on a Gentoo box, so its development is clearly well out of the mainstream of the Linux toolchain.
Cheap shot.
gcc version 4.4.5 (Gentoo 4.4.5 p1.0, pie-0.4.5)
But I do get the choice of something else if I want it - not what is rammed down my throat by the "mainstream".
I also get to support it ...
On the bright side, if your statement is true about release by Gentoo then I get a better chance of Flash working than you do - oh look no snags with Youtube audio.
