OK, we can live with this, but I'd prefer to see if it goes away in
gcc 4.1 if that is possible.

I think the end is in sight. We need much testing now that mingw is
in shape. And we need an intel mac port. If there are any resources
in the axiom camp to test current 2.6.8pre wherever it is relevant
that would be most helpful. I'm about to release the current state as
a debian 2.6.7 package revision, and recompile the apps across the
platforms. Once that is done, and someone can help signoff on mingw,
solaris, and macosx, I'm happy, and we can release.
Needless to say, if there are any issues, please say so soon.
Take care,
