[...] With GCC 4.x, there are new optimizations, and a while new set of "unknowns" that we're going to possibly get bug reports for ... and, it *is* a .0 major release for GCC,
Yeah, I agree that the first version of a major release can be a bit hairy.
so there are bound to be bugs in their optimizer also,
Well that's like saying there were bound to be bugs in postgres 8.0 ;>
There were, else we wouldn't have released 8.0.1 :)
So just make the build system detect the version number and compile with -O0 or -O1 for gcc >= 4.0. ;> Anyway, that's what I thought the regression tests are for. Or is the development team unlikely to do any builds against 4.x for a while?
See Tom's posting ... they (redhat) have apparently been playing with 4.x for awhile now, and all looks good ...
