Are there any big advantages to using it? As far as I remember, much of the effort in gcc 3.4 is aimed at improving the compiler speed (cached headers for c++, etc.). I expect it will make a big difference for large compiles (gentoo fans will be pleased), but microcontroller code is small and therefore by nature quickly compiled, even on older PCs. Are there any other reasons to change now?
