Dave, Thanks. Since Apple has effectively orphaned FSF gcc, I have spent a lot of time making sure that the current release is patched up to remove false failures in the gcc testsuite so real bugs are exposed. Those changes would all have to be backported to the earlier gcc releases to make certain there are no unexpected regressions. FYI, the results for the current gcc 4.4.1 release on x86_64 fink are at...
