The next minor version of gcc is out. Changelog: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.1/changes.html Mirrors: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html This release focused more on quality than features according to one GCC developer. It also seems that my concerns regarding x86-64 are no longer needed as there's a large mention of SuSE's contribution of x86-64 code to gcc. --MonMotha
