Some documentation somewhere would be good. We get this question a lot.
Its been a while since I rebuilt the tools, so I dont know the answer to
the question. Once I got a stable version that did what I needed, I
stopped upgarding. Now I wouldnt know which is the 'best' 'most stable'
version anymore either. Having to use the gcc-3.4 directory to patch
gcc-3.3.2 is far from intuitive. What about not only the readme, but
renaming the directories to actually be logical, and not a historical
and confusing accident.
It makes me woder how many people have tried to build the compiler and
given up in disgust, because they had mis matched patches to gcc
source. It might explain why Ive heard from a number of people that
this compiler is unusable crap. which is not true, and I dispute it.
But their response is always 'well i could never get it to work'. Dont
forget, for every one person who posts to the list that they couldnt get
it to work, there are probably 10 others who either arent subscribed or
havent posted their failures to achieve anything meaningful (probably
due to fear of ridicule).

Hi,
In the CVS server on sourceforge, there are a lot of different patches
for different versions of gcc.
What is considered the most stable and "best" version of those? I'm
using the CVS's gcc-3.4/ patch against gcc-3.3.2, but I'm always
running into a couple of bugs caused by the compiler.
What's the status of the gcc-current? And what gcc version is it
indended to be patched against? (Tip: Maybe we should add a little
readme in each of the gcc patch directories telling what gcc version
it should be patched against.)
