Now for something completely different: Did anything happen in the gcc 4.x world which would help us to get a gcc 4.x for Cygwin at one point? Are some of the problems reported in http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-05/msg00044.html fixed in the meantime?
As for Charles' options how to go on: > (1) either you drop ada and java support, and we live with the > ever-increasing brokenness that will accumulate in the sjlj code, or > (2) you switch to dwarf2, we keep ada and java, but loose the callback > stuff and break backward compatibility. > (3) you release TWO entire SETS of compilers: an sjlj one with only > C/C++/Fortran, and a "real" one with DWARF2 and the full compiler > suite. This is a support nightmare; I recommend against. I'd opt for option 2. Dave? Charles? Anybody?
