With the recent release of gcc 4.0 into a stable branch, how likely is to see the gcc-4 in the pure64 branch?
0 chance.
Debian will release sarge with gcc-3.3 and that means sid will stay that way too. gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 need a major transition due to C and C++ incompatibilites.
Well, that means that there are 0 chances to see gcc-4.0 as the default compiler, but I do hope it will be included in sid as soon as possible, as an optional set of packages, much in the same way as gcc-3.0 was in woody! Or are there strong reasons which make it very difficult to have gcc-3.x and gcc-4.x installed on the same machine at the same time?
Actually, I do look forward having a usable GNU fortran 90 compiler, as gfortran in gcc-4.x will hopefully become with time...
