Hi, shared libc++? I have only used 2.19.51, and with gcc trunk (4.5.0). I haven't encountered any notable issues with the recent snapshots. I'll be trying 2.20.51 soon with multilib i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32 configuration. Usually, if there are problems, the binutils devs will ask you to retry with CVS HEAD, so I suggest giving the 2.20.x series snapshots testing higher priority. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
