gcc-2.96 is the system compiler, thus meaning that everything was built with it and verified to work OK. So coherency here is for a user to build with the system compiler. gcc-3.0.4 is a toy compiler for 8.2 for people willing to test it, have other features. This will change for 9.0 as more testing will be done with gcc3+ compilers. You are definetely in trouble if you want to mix gcc3 C++ code with gcc2 C++ code. Otherwise, C code should be OK. I am not saying that compiling C++ code with gcc3 doesn't work. It's just that you need to check that all other dependent C++ libs are built with it too. Again, it is always advised to use the system compiler. "2.96" for 8.2. Bye, Gwenole.
