I have tried gcc 4.0 (on x86) and on the first try I have found a wrong optimisation bug with -O1 and up (bug #280972). Luckily the program failed the test-suite so it was easy to spot. So be careful, packages might build fine with gcc-4.0 but be subtly broken since most packages do not run test-suites. Cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here.
