Yes, it's fixed. I've got a couple of ant scripts myself that use the exec task to run gcc and all of them are running fine. One of the problems that I know of is that pthreads doesn't execute the shutdown hooks when the VM terminates. However, I wanted to commit a partial fix (executing the shutdown hooks only when the VM terminates normally) this weekend (been way too long since my last one ;)).
