Some packages need fortran or objc to be build.
If you create a gcc-lite package, add the following line in receipt:
TAZBB_NO_INSTALL="because this will break objc and fortran support"
Tazbb needs c,c++,objc,fortran and java support.

Do you think SliTaz is too slow ? You need a 5% speedup ?
Maybe we should add multilib support (i486, i686, x64 and glibc, uclibc) ?
Anyway I think SliTaz should support i486.
Many other distros don't. This miss is not a must.

You are welcome.
