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.
